"A Charles Dickens Night" featuring Harpejji G16

Uploaded by harpejji on Jul 8, 2011
About a month ago, Joy was suffering from chronic insomnia. At one point, she endured six straight nights without sleep. Tim and Joy chronicled this experience in the song "A Charles Dickens Night", a metaphor on the struggles of the mind. The song was written on the harpejji and was recorded as a single take without overdubs or other instruments.

Man I have been researching you guys's instrument quite a bit, and it seems like EXACTLY the instrument I've been looking for. My only issue, is that I don't have a ton of money, and the G16 (though both are extremely reasonably priced) is the only one within my price range, I was wondering, since most of my work is in the higher registers, does the G16 pose an issue at all compared to the K24 in terms of reaching the upper registers of say, a standard guitar?

@WolvesAsParents Actually, the G16 goes higher in pitch than the K24. The G16 plays up to C6, whereas the K24 plays to A5. The 'G' in G16 refers to the fact that it is similar to a guitar in range, although it plays two whole tones deeper than a normal 6 string.

@harpejji thanks so much for your speedy reply! that is awesome, and once ive got a bit more money saved up, the G16 will be what I buy

@WolvesAsParents Looking forward to building you an awesome G16! We're here when you are ready, and all we need is a respectable deposit to start the build process.

Every stringed electrical instrument can produce amazing sound thanks to sound shaping post processing, real time effects and so on. Thus I would like to know two things from the inventor(s) of the Harpejji:
1: How does the Harpejji sounds "clean", ie. without sound modification, filters and so on - just the instrument plugged into an amp, leaving all settings at neutral values?
2: What sound setup have you used here? Can you please post some information about the used equipment?
Thanks

@karli34 (1) Check out the "Rain Dance" song video on YouTube: There is only a touch of reverb on that. (2) In the Charles Dickens song video, the harpejji was played through an Adrenalinn 3 pedal + a Boss Digital Reverb pedal into a Roland KC-350 amplifier. The video was recorded with a Zoom Q3 handy recorder.
