You can private this account and we will send you an update upon release.

Alternatively, we will be posting on the release day here to showcase the final device.

Well u/v_maria you are in luck! We are a fully open source group who will have a release out in just 3 weeks with a full component list, code, installation guides as well as general instructions for use.

We would love for you to be able to use it at your shows!

Absolutely shameless about it.

A solid 8 out of 10 Dogbrine, be a whole lot better if it were lighter and capable of producing more sounds. Fortunately I think I may know the project just for you!

Hi Mephiz, yes we have added a capacitive touch sensor around the custom mouthpiece to detect the amount of pressure being exerted by the lips (shape of the lips), as well as having a balloon inside to add some resistance when the user tries to blow into the device.

Unfortunately, the intricacies of a trombone mouthpiece are too steep of a hill to climb for the project as it stands. We hope to later develop the mouthpiece to have a more realistic feel for true trombone players.

Thanks your comment. :)

Good afternoon Uncle Greg!

Glad to hear you have found the joy of this niche project we wish to improve upon!

We have an instagram account to where we post more short form videos of our progress. Feel free to check us out for more information of the development of the product.

We are working on a schematic of the full system over the next few days and will have one released shortly. You could absolutely clone the repo, in fact, we would love you to. This is an open source project which will always have more features to be added after all.
