Reimagining a centuries old instrument for the modern musician
Balute Inc. needed help bringing to market an instrument that had been under development for several years.
We helped develop an electronic Setar with digital strings, force-sensitive frets, and bluetooth connectivity.
In support of the relaunch, we built ten looks-like, works-like prototypes for use in product demos and workshops.
