6 - EMPIRE STATE ROCKER The Empire State Rocker is Landmans most impractical sized workshop instrument so far. The size of this instrument is approx. 2 meter (Âą78 inch). The body features a very worked out overtone scale up to the 16th harmonic in the top plate as well as a common Western scale on the big plate. Different from what the size might suggest, the instrument is not a bass instrument. It is mostly played flat on a table playing harmonics or with a slide playing it behind the slide, creating highly atmospheric enhanced tones. The picture on the left features twelve string versions with four clusters of three strings that are equally tuned.
7 - TRIOCHORD
May 17th 2012 Lyon FR
The Triochord is an enhanced version of the monochord/Didley Bow. All strings are tuned in unisono giving an excellent natural chorus effect. This instrument workshop is very cheap compared to the other workshops and therefore highly suitable to organise at music education centres and conservatories. The instrument features a common Western logarithmic scale as well as a scale of harmonics. Triochord with 12 TET Western scale and a color dotted harmonic scale
