The Eigenharp is alive

Posted by on October 12th, 2009 in entertainment, hacking, music, video

After weeks of speculation, the Eigenharp is live! This crazy instrument is part woodwind, part drum, and part piano. You can blow it, tap it, and stroke it to make music and it includes a case and strap. It costs $5,800 dollars and is customizable at the new product page.

Interestingly, they also released the Eigenharp Pico for about $500. It’s more like a recorder (a simple flute) and has 18 keys and one slider.

Both devices require a Mac nearby for playback.

  1. Now this is one seriously cool instrument. I’m not even musically inclined and I still can’t wait to see what gets done live as a result of this innovation.

  2. Whoa! Combine this with a Reactable and the result is the rock band of the future!
