Instead of tone holes, the Glissotar uses a longitudinal slot on the tube of the instrument, covered with a stretched ribbon. Pushing down on the ribbon will seal the slot, so you can produce any note in the pitch continuum. It is based on a Hungarian single-reed instrument with a conical wooden body called the tarogato.

Hundreds of possible combinations allow users to learn and work with electronic music in a physical way.

Cicada is a playful and controllable instrument that converts voltage to vibrations in a mechanical oscillator.

It was originally developed at Dartmouth College and was commercialized in April 2021.
