Daniel, just curious. I too own a Gravikord but it sounds nothing like this. Are you using the G major tuning or something else? And with what are you processing the sound?

Bob Grawi made me a Gravikord with 21 strings like a Kora, not the 24 stringed version. Plus it's tuned like a Kora to F, not not like that of a Gravikord.

We call it a "Gravikora".

I was processing the sound with a Korg AX1G, Korg Pandor PX2 and a Digitech Whammy 2 pedal.

I feel I need pictures of trees and flowers from a 60s Sci-Fi movie... oh wait Silent Running is on, that will do... that will do.

@litsot THIS. For Christ's sake. I can't understand why would someone play the guitar and the guitar only. Particularly because it's like languages—the more you learn, the easier it is to learn new ones.
