  • A cool comparison. More manufacturers should do videos showing the side-by-side differences. I look forward to a video showing the various methods of using articulations and dynamics while playing, as well as an example of how long the sustain works on them!

    This might be the best think I have seen, great vidio and amazing intro to the instrement

    Great video. Lots of factors affect what you're hearing here. But at least this gives you an idea of the main characteristics of the woods. Love to see a purplewood vs bamboo. Etc.
  • I love them all. The bamboo sounds best to me. Of course, the most expensive model. Caviar taste, top ramen budget. Means I can't afford any of them. Really wish I could have one.
  • The subtractive qualities is exactly how Paul Reed Smith explains tone woods which makes a lot more sense than saying a wood adds tone... Marcodi: The PRS of Harpejii

    The Bamboo is the one that sounds (slightly) better for me. I can hear more (slightly) frequencies in it. Probably a very small difference, tho. Also the bass holds better because of the density.

    Since I'm new to the Harpejji, I'll go with the middle quality Maple. Thanks for sharing. ☺
  • Hi, I got an idea to use alumitone pickup princip in Harpeji. What do you think of that?
  • Interested in buying a bamboo k24. What finish is on the one you demo'd here? Matte or satin?
  • @watahyahknow
    wondering a little if the harpejj works with guitar elements or by by making a conection between the string and fret or have piezo elements under each saddle being able to bend the tone makes me believe its a wider shorter version of the chapman stick
  • @RideHanna
    ha ha He clearly has a strong preference for the Bamboo...

    Lots of overtones means more chance for muddiness with heavy amplification. That's the reason power chords are a staple of amplified guitar. The birch, with less pronounced overtones, may be the best instrument if one is going for an over-driven tone. Bamboo's complexity may be the choice for an "acoustic" sound. Maple -- a compromise to versatility?
  • @bongosock
    What are the scale lengths of those instruments?

    Phew, the little girl in the back freaked me out there a bit :D

    Can people play full piano versions of Mozart piano sonatas such as with Alberti bass pattern etc? Would love to see well tempered clavier on the Harpejji.

    I want bye it , how much for 1 & ship for overseas?
  • @jazzism74
    Bamboo all day long but boy is that an expensive upgrade!
