"Spinning Guitar" by @mattiasyoutube Inspired by a rotating guitar/bass invented back in the 1960s, Mattias took it one step further to add more strings and make the construction more stable. The neck is made from stacks of 3D printed cylinders and the frets are laser cut wood discs that fit between the cylinders. Each string uses a "standard" headless guitar tuner -- fixed at the head and terminating at the bottom with a tunable screw. I had nothing to do with this project, but I couldn't help but share this awesome innovation. The full video can be found on his YouTube (Mattiaskrantz) . . . #violinist #violinlove #violadagamba #cellist #cello #evil #twosetlover #luthier #luthiery #fineviolin #music #guitar #violist #violinbow #fiddle #diyinstrument #diy #fyp #violinchan #torture #experimental #orchestra #musiclover #twosetviolin #sacreligious #stringedinstrument #violintorture
