Experimental: Magnetovore Presents the Magnetic Cello
The Magnetic Cello is an analog electronic musical instrument created by Cal Poly SLO student David Levi. After three years of development, the finished instrument is available for reservation for its summer 2012 release. Those who reserve a Magnetic Cello now will have the first opportunity to own the instrument.
Whether you’re an established musician looking for a change of pace or a student just beginning to experiment, you’ll find new musical possibilities with the Magnetic Cello.
Playing the Magnetic Cello:
- Shape volume using a magnetic bow. Moving the bow in space around the copper coil induces an electrical signal to magnetically articulate the instrument.
- Control pitch by pressing down on an electrically resistive ribbon. This ribbon, mounted to the neck of the instrument, is continuous and can perform the same glissando and vibrato of a traditional stringed instrument.
- Select strings by rolling your right thumb. With a small switch mounted on the bow under the right thumb, a musician can instantly switch strings.
