I'd put a coin-slot on it that only accepts Anthony Dollars, and spread it
around that only the most sophisticated clientele could appreciate the
subtitles and nuances produced by this fine instrument as it played the
whole gamut of known music from soft-soothing rock to country ballads.

Lay it on real thick in "throbbing prose" that morons that only guzzle Bud's
need not waste their time.   Emphasize the technical superiority of this
amazing modern wonder over the klunky noisy mess that your arthritic
grand-parents used to suffer through.

Then focus on selling it to upscale wine and single-malt bars.   You'll
make a killing.
