Cool.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Interesting Diabulus in Musica - thanks

Only thing I´ll say (I play viola/violin myself) is:

If a technic gets so close to the real playing as I see here I wonder why people stay from playing the real instrument instead! The demo looks very convinsing, but Im pretty sure it a bit harder to do in real life, if you want a real illusion of playing!

Cheers

 

Maybe because a real instrument is totally another world, I mean...just the feeling to embrace a real violin is priceless not to mention the real sound you get!

Would you compare a Stradivari with that tube?

 

All I tried to say was:

Im pretty sure this digi-solution will be a challenge, even it looks easy to do!

 

I used to think about a device just like this! Guess I shoulda applied for a patent or something!
