Exactly what I craved! Awesome. I play piano, synths, guitar (up to 9 strings) and bass guitar (up to 12 strings)... And there you come with this fantastic all-in-one instrument... Damn, I see and hear how it can help songwriting as well. My jaw dropped on the floor... It looks so great, too! Congratulations! I hope to be in touch with you soon!
@anointed01 Hi anointed01, we (Marcodi) can sell extra sets of strings if needed. However the strings of the harpejji are a combination of Ernie ball bass and electric guitar strings. So they would not be a special order item, you could however pick them up at any music store. Hope this helps!!!
@anointed01 The harpejji has 24 strings tuned in ascending whole tones from A0 to G4. The tuning system is located at the player's end of the instrument, and you use an allen wrench to adjust each string. With a good, fast tuner, it takes me just a few minutes to get mine tuned up.
Not to take anything away from how cool this instrument is..( and it IS VERY cool.)... and the tactile,hands-on-the-strings aspect is a big part of it.. BUT.. couldn't a lot of this be done on a good synth.. with the benefit of having a lot more
Thanks for your comment. Two great advantages of the harpejji is that you have greater control of each note due to direct contact with real strings. Another is that the harpejji produces the sound of real strings.
We have had many people respond with similar comments and I understand the reasoning. However if you can reproduce harpejji,piano, guitar, bass, or drums sound
with a keyboard synth, does that mean the death of real instruments?
You have a legitimate point. But as you wrote, the hands-on-the-strings aspect is a big part of the appeal; in fact, it was big enough for me to place an order. ;-) When I play keyboards, I miss the intimate level of expression I have when I play guitar; when I play guitar, I miss the vast number of voicing and counterpoint options accessible on a keyboard. The harpejji isn't better than either, it's just different, and it combines some of the aspects of both.
Is it harder to play than a piano/synth ?

Does it require tuning? When can we expect a Midi interface?

Very cool video.
Must be a nightmare to tune it though!

Tuning is quicker than you think because you don't have to keep turning your head back and forth like you do on a guitar.

does it come with those different synths or is that separate?

the different sounds you hear are outboard guitar effects processors
