Cicada Coral Pointed Tip Bridge

Coral Pointed Tip Bridge is a mechanical oscillator driven by the Actuator that vibrates on the Soundboard. At the tip, where it rests on the Soundboard, different materials have been curated for their unique sonic qualities, and to match the kinetic behaviours of each bridge shape. The pointed tip has a quick, sharp acoustic response that works beautifully for higher frequency sounds. The oak tip on this Bridge provides a bright, clear sound with minimal filtering. The design is inspired by the Daxophone, an experimental electroacoustic instrument invented by Hans Reichel.
