"Constructed from 3D printing, the Pneumatone challenges conventional notions of musical instruments, offering a fresh perspective on combining acoustic and electronic sounds."
The Pneumatone is an innovative instrument that fuses the traditional slide whistle with modern synthesizer technology. Designed by Chris at Sound Workshop, this 3D printed device resembles a vintage analog synth but operates on slide whistles and computer fans.
