A short demonstration of the magnetic cello. The magnetic cello has a similar size, shape, and playing style of an acoustic cello. However, instead of a horsehair bow, the player uses a magnetic rod (the "bow") to induce a voltage in a coil (the "bridge"). This voltage is used to control the volume of the signal. The pitch of the instrument is controlled by resistive ribbons (the "strings") which control a second voltage. Note that this creation does not use a microcontroller or digital circuity--just capacitors, resistors, and the occasional IC, like in a radio.

I expect to start selling the finished Magnetic Cello (and similar instruments) in a couple of years. If you are an experienced cellist, contact me and I'll see if I can get a prototype in your hands."

Electronic Prototype Station

Here is my Prototype Board.
This is a customized breadboard, where an electronic circuit can be quickly and temporarily prototyped. The electronic parts fit into the rows of sockets (which are electrically connected to other sockets). In this video, I am showing some functions I have added onto the board.

It has 3000+ tie points, two 9v batteries, a key switch, three potentiometers, and a small amplifier. I prototyped a VCO circuit on it to demonstrate the board in action. Watch the video for more."
