After debuting at CES the year before last year, the Instrument 1 is now moving into homes after meeting its Kickstarter goal in less than six hours. The basic, plastic version of the instrument will thus be available for around 310 euros, while the wooden version will be significantly more expensive - 810 euros. Which is still cheap when you think about how much a guitar, piano, violin and bass combined would hit our wallets. But the Instrument 1 can sound quite different, as it can be connected to the iPhone family and a PC.
Instrument 1, which was prepared by to Artiphon, is a "multi-instrumentalist" among instruments, and is that part of each stringed instruments, as athletics is for every sports discipline. The foundation. That's why you can use it as you see fit or as befits the original instrument. The same goes for sound.

But as said, you are not limited to the instruments listed above, as you can connect it directly to iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC. It is also compatible with the electronic standard protocol (MIDI) and creates any sound played by one of the MIDI applications it "understands". It can also be a drum.

The device itself doesn't do anything special. On it we find a grasshopper, a power button, a small head, loudspeaker, and a series of instrument presets.
The applicability of Instrument 1 extends from multitalented musicians to those who instrument (yet) they do not master. There is a way to help you "pick the right strings". And if he helps you, you can help him too, with a "donation" on Kickstarter.
