So functionally it's roughly equivalent to a Gizmotron https://www.gizmotron.com/ https://www.gizmotron.com/ with extra solenoids to push the wheels up and down. Actually the Gizmo is better in several respects: it doesn't block the fretboard (though it can be an obstacle for the picking/plucking hand), doesn't prevent string bending and by now seems to have a less staccato and less harsh-sounding string activation.
- onorton 7y agoLooks to me like the Gizmotron is only for bowing while this can do both bowing and plucking.
- deckar01 7y agoIt has a drive shaft, worm gears, and a single motor. Seems like an odd design. I wonder if I can build similar device using a 6mm DC motor for each string and some gears to crank up the torque?
