##concept

Create your own instrument, combine trumpet, keyboard, guitar, flute, harp and drums in one single experience for your own creativity.This is a concept project, realization will take money and some time. you might have seen projects like laser harp or stuff, but most lack the haptic feedback experience or are extremely expensive new instruments.

##how

3D printing has not yet entered fully the musical instrument. Many instrument makers base their designs on the physical properties of instruments but new manufacturing methods and electronics maybe combined in a zillion ways. Small modules representing the interaction part of the instrument (holes, strings, drumpads) contain the sensors, all freely combinable (with magnets or clips) by a network and controlled by your smartdevice.

##module ideas

Here some modules with their relative counterpart of traditional instruments (if applicable)

• These modules should somehow fit together (magnet style like Mac power supply).
• Wireless module for datatransmission.
• Can bus (or similar) on modules
