satya Posted January 17, 2024 Share Posted January 17, 2024 https://soundiron.com/products/hopkin-instrumentarium-aquaalt Soundiron have released Hopkin Instrumentarium: Aquaalt, a unique Lute, available at the intro price of $29.00, increasing to $39.00 after the promotion. Aquaalt is an experimental custom creation from the mind of master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin: A unique Lute with a steel bowl resonator. This handcrafted contraption’s bridge delivers the string vibrations directly to the bowl’s flat bottom. As the strings sound, a small amount of water moves in the bowl, causing ever-changing resonances and creating unusual, dreamy sounds. Made of wood and metal, Aquaalt has a richly acoustic essence that resounds brightly through each note. With the body mounted on a swaying stand, the player can rock the lute to keep the water in the bowl moving. It can be played by plucking or bowing, occasionally with a slide to vary the string pitches. Aquaalt requires a full version of Kontakt 6.2.2 ir later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
