Chordophones is a fascinating collection of 10 experimental stringed instruments from the mind of master instrument inventor Bart Hopkin. We’ve included all of our unique Hopkin strings released so far, plus a brand new instrument exclusive to this product: The Stroked Zither. Made of wood and steel, bass strings, styrofoam, water, and rubber, each custom creation has its own organic tonal flavor, multiple microphone positions, and hundreds of ambient soundscapes created from the source content.
