The Sonic Wind guitar is quite different from the traditional guitar. The creator calls it an open-chamber guitar.

Here's some Arduino powered synth magic for you. frauAngelico is a drum synth / sequencer, Standuino Pi is a drone synth and the microGranny a cool little granular sampler. Mix them up and you've got this:

Bumped into this set of very cool artwork by Dan McPharlin . He has creates little synthesizer miniatures from cardboard. I can almost hear them bleep and bloop.

The Seaboard is a very cool new instrument from ROLI . It is a soft version of the classical piano keyboard, with polyphonic pitch bend and vibrato added in to mix things up. Yes, you heard it right, you can pitch bend multiple keys in different directions at the same time!

This punch-card operated drum synth / sequencer is too cool to be true. Be sure not to miss the part where he programs in a new sequence!

Here's more guitars for you! Olaf Diegel has made multiple designs of 3D printed guitars. Click here for the gallery!

Rob O' Reilly based the design on his favourite pair of sunglasses. More photos & info in this article by MusicRadar.
