Mechanical Bass Guitar

A friend sent me this you-tube link for a mechanical bass (I play bass also)

and the design paper behind it featuring Arduino based hardware.

Pretty neat!

Very cool. You should hook him up with this guy (Arduino-based percussion) and start a real band

Maybe add arduino playing accordian for some real melody ...

That's totally awesome. 8)

Accordion would be a challenge. I think you should stick with the bagpipes.

Bagpipes would be cool! Have to adapt the drones and the melody pipe (whatever the one with finger holes is called) so they could be changed in length for tuning, or to change key. Maybe screw in & out.

CrossRoads:
the melody pipe (whatever the one with finger holes is called)

That would be the chanter. Multiple servos actuating 'finger' pads ... could work. :astonished:

Go to it guys
If you can make music like the first post youve got it made. I am trying to copy it now

Just a Jaw-dropping bass.

Reminds me greatly of AniMusic. Google it? Youtube?

Oh oh. Devo was a prophecy!
