Description

Edit description

The Daxophone is an avant-garde stringed instrument that transforms the boundaries of sound, offering a world of creative exploration for musicians and sound artists alike. Devised by the innovative mind of Hans Reichel, this unique instrument doesn't just produce music—it crafts immersive auditory experiences. The daxophone's distinct voice is generated through a simple yet captivating mechanism: a flexible wooden tongue is vibrated by a bow, producing sounds that range from ethereal whispers to resonant growls.

What sets the daxophone apart is its versatility and the player’s ability to manipulate sound with the dax, a curved fret block that alters the tongue's length and tension. This feature gives musicians an astonishing range of tonal possibilities, making every performance an opportunity for new discoveries. Each dax is carefully handcrafted, with personalized fret patterns and premium woods selected for their acoustic qualities and visual appeal.

Ideal for those who dare to push musical boundaries, the daxophone is not merely an instrument but a canvas for sonic innovation. It's perfect for experimental musicians, sound designers, and anyone interested in creating unique soundscapes.

Key Features:

Invented by Hans Reichel for innovative sound exploration
Produces a wide range of unique tones and textures
Handcrafted with customizable fret patterns
Includes a dax for versatile sound modulation
Ideal for experimental music and sound design

“Black Snow” breaks into a climax buttressed by retro synth arpeggios, it pauses for a solo on the Daxophone. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/oneohtrix-point-never-black-snow/

"No Good" is the last track on the record, and it's held together by this sample from a piece of music by Hans Reichel, a German guitarist and inventor of the daxophone. I used his sample, wrote the vocal melody around it, and added a stoner-metal riff in the second half of the tune." https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/wnydbx/oneohtrix-point-never-told-us-the-story-behind-every-single-track-on-garden-of-delete
