Re-Naming the CV Controlled Acoustic Drone Instrument
Every day is a new opportunity to learn something new. Today I get to learn how to handle profound disappointment.
My amazing idea for an CV-controlled acoustic drone instrument inspired by the hurdy gurdy, which I so cleverly dubbed the "nerdy gurdy," will require a new name, as a Nerdy Gurdy already exists, and is indeed appropriately nerdy. This official Nerdy Gurdy consists of a DIY kit of laser-cut and 3D printed parts that produce a pretty exceptionally sounding instrument. The details of this project can be found here: http://www.nerdygurdy.nl/ From there you can order your very own kit or (if you are lucky enough to own both a laser cutter and 3D printer) get the plans to build your own. It's a pretty awesome project and appears to be one borne of equal parts love and craftsmanship.
Naturally, I'm a little disappointed, since I thought the name was pretty fresh (in a colloquial sense), but since my proposed instrument will perhaps not at all resemble nor function the same as a hurdy gurdy, I suppose its fitting that it should have a name that matches its uniqueness. I'm open to suggestions. The Bedravolin, perhaps?
