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.
