The Gravikord is an electric double harp, with 24 nylon strings, inspired by the West African kora and love of polyrhythms in music. First built as an acoustic model out of bamboo, the Gravikord evolved over a decade into a contemporary electric harp of stainless steel and wood. Because the scale alternates from side to side, each hand is able to play both bass and treble notes simultaneously and independently, making the structure and its rhythmic possibilities dramatically different from western instruments. Its syncopated nature makes it a "harp for bongo players." It's also a harp that you can dance with! Enriched by the sympathetic vibrations of the unplayed strings, the Gravikord has a unique captivating rich harp-like sound, making their music appeal to audiences everywhere. Works with any amplifier (strictly electric). Weighing approx. 5 lbs., welded stainless steel frame, wood tuning block with metal tuning machines; carved bridge with piezoelectric pickup and cord, set of 24 colored nylon monofilament strings.
