Yes, that was an obscure reference to Daft Eric:

Ask a Silly Question

Good guess! No, this patch is dedicated to the memory of "daft Eric" Rigby, a Welsh cellist of the late 19th century who was famous for repeatedly smashing his cello into the piano after particularly wild concerts (especially Mozart and Brahms got him going). Eric Rigby drowned in 1957 at the age of 98 attempting to cross the English channel on his 174th instrument, which had been specially treated with bitumen for the journey.

A limited edition CD of Rigby's own compositions, ranging from the seminal "Concert for Violoncello and Jackhammer in C#" to his final opus "Breaking Your Harp Tonight" is now available from www.daftericrigby.co.uk Make sure you check out the images of his used instruments (also on display at the Llandudno Museum of Modern Art).

Yes, it's quite correct - and a delightful (Germanic) linguistic invention too.

(Would make a good name for a patch.

How do I install his patch? I put it in the Zebra preset folder but it does not appear in the preset menu.

Sometimes downloading unzipped h2p files does not work for me... then I copy paste the text into a fresh doc which does work... don't know if you are having the same problem
