"tritone chord" is a misnomer. a tritone is an interval, not a chord. A chord necessarily has at least three notes, so if you're trying to say "three note chord", that is redundant. a tritone gets its name because you can derive it from adding three whole tones to the base note. edit: "triad" is the right word to use, but my brain couldn't remember that for some reason
I am totally psyched the there are people out there like you pushing new boundaries. Keep pursuing your dreams! Without people like you most of us guitarists would be playing lutes.
I can't play any instruments...but I love what can be done on a guitar and I love techno music. What you've created is both genius and simple....the best kind of invention!
If you redesign the headstock it will give the strongest chance of success. Everything else looks super quality. Cool to see innovation still be a thing. Congrats.
Oh yeah it sounds amazing with fuzz and a wah, I have a video where I kinda play the star spangled banner with a wah and it's extremely effective. Sounds a lot like hendrix honestly, more than I thought it would.
While it's not in my wheelhouse I love the innovation and creativity shown. I'm happy to subscribe and forward this to my synth playing friends. Keep up the good work! (And make sure you lock down any patents.) Good luck brother!
Seems like a cool idea to have around, and interest in synths in the guitar world have sprung about again via pedals, so I think the market is there. I wish you the best in this journey.
I jumped when you said OKC, I’m at OSU and love working on my electric guitar. I have no money to buy, but would like to get in line to learn from you in your crew. Very cool instrument
As a kid, i would palm mute the door stopper spring.. and every door stopper had a different tension, i loved the wore out ones.. they would waggle much longer.
I've seen things come and go for the past twenty years making noise, but this is very original and good luck to you.... Sounds great...I can see it being used for a movie or video game score
We don't need patents crippling home instrument makers. I can just see the waves of YT strikes for people experimenting with things like "tone springs" in their own videos. If everything is an off the shelf part you should consider the benefit of patenting for musicians and art in the long run. Patents exist to protect the institution of creativity, and you have a kickstarter for that. It also looks a lot like a NoodleVolt. Remember Yamaha and FM and what happened the Con Brio.
Omg it's literally a Gameboy instrument! This is insane! I can't explain why because the story is too long for a comment, but I've been looking for something exactly like this for YEARS! I don't know when I will get one but I HAVE to have one! This will seriously aid my musical idea I've had since highschool like 10 years ago! 😭👍
Having pots up on the headstock to tune each “string” like normal tuners would be fun. Also, a hurdy gurdy style wheel would be awesome here! Good work, these look awesome!
You have no idea how long I spent trying to make that work until I realized it was impossible for a long list of reasons. Basically the range of each strip changes as you "tune" the note, and therefore tuning one spring channel stretches out the neck scale so the 12th fret of one would be like the 5th fret of the other. Analog synthesizers are a lot trickier than digital devices but so worthwhile in my opinion.
Wake up babe, new instrument just dropped
Finally an electric door stopper spring for all of us who grew up playing acoustic!
This should have 3 springs and rails to make tritone chords possible.
Like easy, medium, and hard mode in guitar hero.
@@Kuli24000 more like a real instrument
@@RTPJuso woodwinds aren't real instruments.. right
That'll be the extended range one, the way we have 7 string guitars 😂

This legit sounds like how they made the Megaman x-treme soundtack.
And I love it!
I NEED IT!
Dude, what a flashback
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!
I was thinking NES Zelda but agreed!
@@Bowsers_Trousers I can hear the title screen
Dethcore bands will love this thing
🤣😂🤣
Nice pfp.
Why will they?
@@davidcaro8217 it’s a great new sound
@@allenvayner4987 yeah, but what has this to do with a novelty musical instrument?
I am totally psyched the there are people out there like you pushing new boundaries. Keep pursuing your dreams! Without people like you most of us guitarists would be playing lutes.
Oh, the retro game soundtrack cover crowd is gonna love this.
Will it chug?
Unfortunately not😂
Just you wait til Ola England gets his hands on this puppy
Send it through the right pedals it could crunch.
maybe if there's a way to adjust the amp envelope, or with a pedal that can do the same
🤣🤣🤣 No chugging allowed.
OK this is positively genius. I want one.
Genius is a strong word, but necessary in this context.
Only a Cardiacs fan would come up with something as whacky as this!
Amazing job man
I saw that shirt and thought the same thing.
My loyalty demands!
That was unexpected, and way cooler than I could have guessed. Congrats on the innovative design. Looks like fun to play, and sounds good. 👍
You have at least one guaranteed buyer right here and I will be using it for metal 🤘🤘🤘
we think alike
Hell yes
Indeed! This brings a fantastic range to the mix! 🤘🤘
EVH would've worn out one (or more!) by now. 🤣🤣
Wow, you're going to make generic distortion noise with a thing that can do so much more. Great job.
@@danebrennand Wow, you made a low-effort troll comment on a topic where you could've done so much more. Great job.
Dano, you're a genius. you prove that there are always original ideas. and you can play it like a pro. I wish you success! and I may have to get one.
Liked merely for the Cardiacs shirt. Good job mate!
Nailed this! I've been working with synths since the 60s, and finally someone has made a more human-like interface!
@2:03 I really thought you were bout to kick into the Legend of Zelda theme.
X2
I want one just because you're wearing a Cardiacs shirt.
Very cool.
2 Cardiacs shirts!
@@FatDave2112I'm gonna do a giveaway on the cardiacs Facebook group too.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you create next.
I can't play any instruments...but I love what can be done on a guitar and I love techno music. What you've created is both genius and simple....the best kind of invention!
People like yourself are the reason I get out of bed in the morning. Just Saying, Thanks.
he was not that noisy.. come on...
@@Dm3qXY lol
@@Dm3qXYlol
I love its versatility and simplicity it is pretty awesome thanks
I love the doorstopper lute
Very creative..well done for making this. Electronic gurus are the best!
cool!! you should put that sleepwalk cover as a demo! i would love to hear more of it
Really cool stuff, love it and the wearing of Cardiacs tee shirts clearly demonstrate that you are a man of exquisite taste.
My loyalty demands!

First song i want to play on this: Holy Diver. An overdrive and a wah would be wild with it as well

Good luck brother!
This thing looks awesome! Just wish there were some markings show where the notes are (at least relatively).
There are! I did use one without markings for a part of the video, but they have the minor pentatonic marked out on them with diamond shapes.
I NEED ONE OF THESE INSTANTLY
Adrian Belew needs that.
Seems like a cool idea to have around, and interest in synths in the guitar world have sprung about again via pedals, so I think the market is there. I wish you the best in this journey.
This is actually crazy I hope this blows up
I hope this goes viral and you make bank with your new invention. The world needs more creators like you, and less users.
That's fantastic. There's so many ways to take this concept, too!
1:11 one step closer to a functional air guitar
I cant succinctly describe just how cool this is
I jumped when you said OKC, I’m at OSU and love working on my electric guitar. I have no money to buy, but would like to get in line to learn from you in your crew. Very cool instrument
No free rides
That's a really clever idea and some of the set-ups sound cool. Loved that version of Sleep Walk! Best of luck with this.
Very cool! 👍
I think you are supposed to show your Patent application number to be able to claim "Patent Pending"
You don't have to actually, only when you have your non-provisional patent granted.
i need one of these immediately
There are 2 days left on the kickstarter.
As a guitar player I instantly understand how this works. This is amazing.
I'm a guitar player, too. Please explain how it works. I'd love to learn!
@@davidcaro8217 lmfao right? that guys a liar
@@SuperSuperdude88 you never put a magnet near your pickup? you arent a guitar player then so thats why you dont get it

Guy: *understands the basics of an instrument he plays*

Four strings like a ukulele at least. Sounds like a slide guitar, nice range. Keep up the good work and keep us posted. Thank you. RC
Amazing. Patent quick! I feel like Muse would buy one
AWESOME HUMANS, GREAT JOB, GREAT DOWNLOAD.
Oh, I really want one, these seem awesome, can't wait to run this through some reverse reverb then some fuzz
The future of musical instruments
God, I hope not!
@@davidcaro8217 terrible sound🥴
As a kid, i would palm mute the door stopper spring.. and every door stopper had a different tension, i loved the wore out ones.. they would waggle much longer.
Don't make me browse..how much $ ?
$299 on kickstarter for a DIY kit.
Might as well buy an Asian six string.
Beautiful first impression
That bowed sound at the end requires the theme from Zelda II: the Adventure of Link
I'm from Oklahoma City as well, and I'm going to look into buying one!!
Cardiacs shirt identified
we are witnessing something great
🤣🤣🤣
The ResoLution will not be televised....
Dude! Your BRAIN is F'in cool ASF! Rcok&Roll!
That is extremely meaningful to me.
WOW!!! You are going to revolutionize music the same way the Theremin did!!!!
LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like a retro video game 👾🕹️
I've seen things come and go for the past twenty years making noise, but this is very original and good luck to you.... Sounds great...I can see it being used for a movie or video game score

Absolutely amazing shirt my good sir!
I love this, subscribed. The old 80s video game synth sound is perfect 👌
This is brilliant, simple, fun, congratulations!
Very interesting! I haven't seen an instrument this novel in a very long time. I hope your kickstarter rocks.
I love the 8bit sound of qualities it has
This is legitimately amazing
This is awesome
That is genuinely amazing
I absolutely want one but I hope there will be cheaper parts kit later cause ya boi broke. Good luck you're an amazing inventor!

Wow this is really unique!!! Congratulations on your invention!
On-stage chiptune performances just levelled up hard
beautiful instrument, best of luck to you brother
so.... only 2 note polyphony?
Interesting... The different effects are brilliant
It's so weird but I'm so fascinated by it.
Amazing. that instrument seems to offer a lot of expression possibilities !
This is epic! Hope that my humble like and comment helps snowball the algorithm!
Very cool. Congratulations on your invention! 😊
So cool, innovation but retro tones. Would love to see what a crazy legato player could do with one of these.
This instrumentnl is an absolute marvel.of engineering. Badass
Perfect timing on this as I was starting to get bored with my theremin.
I love this sht just simple innovation yet fun and well made
Dude made the air guitar real! This kicks ass
I wanna mix the springs/spikes. This thing looks NUTS!
Wow, hope these make it big.
Way too cool and creative. Can’t wait to see what the world does with it…
Finaly, the sound I never wanted to hear in an instrument. Well done bro! ;-)
A couple more of such instruments and we'll be able to PLAY chiptunes LIVE! I love it.
I need more of this in my life.
