this is the NUT end of the musical instrument with the 6 fret drive motors. may have overengineerd the size of this sub assembly unit. the auto-guitar scale length is 628mm with 6 nickel alloy wires that rap a dog leg around the sides of the unit. plastic idler wheels will be replaced with brass idlers . supply chain delays. also made some bad assumptions & 525mm error in the size of the plan, I had a ukulele scale length. so with the scale length at the full 628mm the 3 end drive motors hang outside the base of the musical instrument. rigidity of the musical instrument body is key good note sustain, so must be built like a brick dunny so a fifth bolt will be set in the middle of the NUT L-shaped 4mm aluminum also see the end bearings for the 6 ball screw assemblys -not shown here. flexible couplings are used connecting any two of the 5mm axle bearings to a third, as I do not have alignment needed to provet axle wobbling. |

I've seen a number of those projects. I get the interest factor. Must be pretty interesting to work on. What eludes me, though, is the purpose. There is no exception from everything I've heard: all those projects, in the end, sound absolutely TERRIBLE. While having required a LOT of time. So, however great this all is from an engineering POV, in the end this is wasted time. Well IMO anyway. Sorry if I don't get it. ;D |

I would like to hear the sound of an all electric wheeless hordy gordy in 2018 I seen an opportunity. a gap in the automated musical instrument design space. so why not give it a go . just for fun . was before 2020 BS! to produce something people would use. in conjunction with say analog music synthesizers. an analog spring reverb that is tuned to a note or Hz. should have started by testing the transducer designs- first. with hindsight. I am confident that the core design of this automated stringed musical instrument will work. driving and monitoring tuned nickel alloy wires . the transducer designs. nobody is doing this type of musical instrument from scratch. driving string wires with analog audio inputs . not piano hammers or guitar pick. so the wide string spacing. goals 1 music or sound I am seeking middle eastern music - arabian harp music - hordy gordy - bagpipe type sounds with granular synthesis from magnetic plucking or bowing at Hz speed and accuracy beyond what is possible with human hands. while maintaining the complex timbre of the true stringed sound. unlike pe-set samples from some digital audio workstations. 2 construct a greatly improved example of an automated or micro-controlled musical instrument. avoiding the mistakes of other more makeshift designs. see YT videos of makeshift robot guitars that fail. proof of concept. produce working prototype of this greatly improved musical instrument. 3 produce an open source document from the fully working prototype of this musical instrument. post here! for any one to produce their own. avoiding expensive components that have no improvement on the design. 4 explain the steps involved in the development of this design and how its differs from hand operated musical instruments. |
