The Artiphon is a semi-finalist for the 2016 Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition. The contest, hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, showcases the best new ideas in design, engineering and musicianship. The Artiphon allows players to strum a guitar, bow a violin, tap a piano, loop a beat – on a single instrument. It is an adaptive musical device that can be played in multiple positions and can make any sound imaginable. By connecting it to smartphones, tablets, and computers, users of all skill levels can choose from a customizable palette of sounds and features.
