This is a teaser video for the Eigenlabs Eigenharp.
The teaser video showcases the sexy construction; the video below shows the bizarre Eigenharp in action on a cover of Moby‘s take on the classic James Bond Theme:

If you’ve seen the Eigenharp in action or had some hands-on time, leave a comment with your thoughts on it!
According to Eigenlabs:
Eigenlabs has spent the last seven years developing a revolutionary new electronic musical instrument, the Eigenharp. A musical instrument more advanced, more expressive and more flexible than anything you have ever seen.
They shoulda called it the Electrobo cause the moutpiece makes it look like an obo…
probably not the most glamorous reference… but then neither is a harp… so I suppose paying homage to the boss wins out in the end huh…
WHEN CAN YOU BUY THIS?!?!? I will pay whatever i have to to get my hands on one, this is one of the greatest instruments I have ever seen and it's uses in both playing a wide variety of musical pieces to adding great runs in techno music are almost limitless. Please, when is it's public release date or is there one?
The #eigenharp Alpha is £4000 ($6400) approx depending on config, deliveries starting in December. Pico is £350 ($550) approx and ships next month.

It looks more like a bassoon. It has a wind pipe.
that thing rocks! I hope it comes with instructions…..
I want to know how much it is. i want one.
There wasn’t a middle one 14 weeks ago when I commented, but now there is a Tau, closer to alpha in functionality and size, closer to pico in design cues. £1800 and it’s yours from May. Perhaps they’ll have the windows software to drive it by then too. I can see myself getting one around xmas and passing the Pico to my nephew and niece.
Apparently there was one in the middle as well, though i can't remember what it was called…

Bassoons have a bocal, not a wind pipe.
