Hilarious and haunting video about getting stuck….
BUT THIS:
That freaking thing….
“Wheelharp” is an analog keyboard that plays string instruments by actually bowing them:
According to Antiquity Music, “string instrument sampling and string synthesizers have yielded innovative results that come close to, but frequently fall short of, creating convincing, authentic bowed-string sounds.The Wheelharp vastly improves upon these mechanical instruments by combining a surprisingly efficient design with extensive dynamic control and a full chromatic scale, giving the player a rich sound palette of actual bowed strings that cannot be equaled by synthesis or sampling.â€
