The Harpejji: Piano meets guitar meets hefty price tag
As a keyboard player who’d love to also be able to play the guitar, but can’t, this new instrument appeals to me.
The Harpejji takes the best characteristics of a guitar, and the same of a keyboard instrument, and combines them. This 24 string instrument features a visual matrix representing all the keys on a piano, and each string has a small piezo pickup embedded in its saddle, creating a clear representation of the natural string harmonics…
