Looks awesome already! I figure putting it in an open tuning might work quite well. When trying to grip the neck or when rotating it will probably cause a lot of unwanted strings to vibrate, in an open tuning those will sound well at least. And you can worry about only fretting one side then. Which makes me think, I'd kill for a collab with Rob Scallon for this guitar. Feels like he would have a blast playing it, and you two sitting down and just talking about the quirks of this thing fits perfectly for his "unusual instrument" type videos. Either way, I'm looking forward to main channel video once this project is done.

Also the strings could be tunned in a way they make a minor chord and you could have a moving capo between frets, and maybe this capo have a way to change a little bit so it makes a major chord. Ive got this idea because i tought it would be very cool to just make spin the cilinder and keep the pick in the same place while it spins making a chord.

Maybe just have another neck for the guitar that's ofc not attached to the strings, just kinda separately there, like one of those rollers with a handle except without the handle yknow? It should probably help with stability if it's an issue. Also maybe have the neck thin enough so that you don't have to wrap your hand around it too much. That way it can act as a guide for your hand just to prevent you from having to lift it trying to prevent unintentional noise.

I reckon that the most viable option to have this idea actually work would be to have the strings attached at either end of some carbon fiber reinforced slats that are able to be driven around a track that is within the neck of the instrument - the idea being that the front face is relatively flat but inside the neck the individual parts fold up to fit that surface area within a smaller volume of space, so the nut and bridge parts are almost like links in a chain driven by motors at each end. The hope is that the two ends can be precisely geared up to compensate for the difference in diameter, as well as the carbon rods being able to handle the string tension without warping

Mattias, what a stellar imaginative inventor! you seem to be able to build anything that you abstract in your mind's eye. I enjoyed trying to play it in my mind too; however, my conclusions were: 1) Get rid of the strings, this thing has the potential to add multiple new and unexpected dimensions to creating and performing music. The strings are going to act as a boat-anchor preventing this thing from soaring. 2) replace the archaic Pythagorean strings with the best available 3D (4D?) sliding and pressure sensitive midi sensors. They could wrap around the cylinder, 360 degrees, head to "bridge", and while you're at it invent some new approaches to touch sensors with feedback (the playing surface should feel alive). 3) Make the cylinder small enough that it feels good and cover the back side in a "half" canopy, such that the grip on the back of the canopy "feels" like a conventional guitar neck (don't forget keyboard players). (like a hollowed-out guitar neck with the spinning cylinder in it) Additionally, the "C" shaped canopy protects the sensors on the "back" side of the neck from accidentally being activated and gives the player different degrees of grip and compression. and 4) as others have suggested, spin using a servo motor controlled by a "WahWah" pedal, where the cylinder can rotate CW and CCW at different angular velocities and accelerations making changes in a microsecond. The advantage of your invention is that the musician-performer can add several new multidimensional spaces of emotions and aboriginal expressions, many of which have not even been discovered or fully exploited yet. Keep inventing, creating, and building!!!

Here is my 2 cents :) Since this obviously is not playable (in rotation mode) using the traditional "finger pressing against fetboard approach" of the guitar neck, i suggest several stationary bows and picks to interact with the strings when in rotation mode. And do the fretting action on the rotating neck with a metal device like a slide. You could have "slides" on several fingers to trigger several notes at the same time making chords.

I was thinking more in the line of how to make an existing design usable by innovating around the obvious limitations of this particular device. If starting from scratch one would most certainly end up with a different design, and most likely other issues. Like the vibrations of a chain, it that good or bad in a project like this? Pickups are sensitive to mechanical noise and vibrations, perhaps this is why we don't see a lot of chaindriven turntables out there. However in brainstorming for a prototype there is really no such thing as a bad idea. Even a really poor suggestion can fule development in to new directions :) @@evansmusic2009

As far as something that could be used to move up and down the neck, shamisen players use a thing called a yubisuri.

But i dont know if it'll completely noiseless unless you have something that dampens the strings. But i would probably make a second neck just to rest my thumb on that doesnt touch the other strings.

You'll need to have your fret hand steady on a side of the fret board to play anything that a harp couldn't play.

You might think about having a triangle of three fretboards inside a cylinder that can revolve and lock into place. Eighteen tuning keys would be a problem, but you could replace them with something like an allen wrench. It would still be a very thick neck, but maybe it could be four strings each and be two tenor guitars and a bass. Or just two necks you could switch. Even if the cylinder were much thinner, it couldn't be played like a guitar. You can't barre a cylinder and the wrist position would apparently be unpredictable. Anyway, if all you want is to hold a pick as it revolves, why have the different surfaces -- bass, fretless bass, etc? Just make a cylinder with however many strings you want, tune it to a chord or a melody or whatever, and have fun.

Something like rain gutter, but obviously conical. I guess you could use plastic drainage pipe, and if you make convergent cuts along the length, and install it so it's equidistant to the "neck" you might get away without having to roll sheet metal or plastic into the real conical shape, although techically it can be considered cheating:)

So basically a gatling guitar. The problem with playing it will be while it's spinning with respect to the fretting hand. It might be doable with a slide/bottle neck if you mute at the nut with some fabric. A more purpose built solution might be a moveable ring around the whole neck circumference that would act as a slide (basically an inside out fret) , which given a sufficiently hard material and adequate contact could stop the string (muting may still be needed at nut). the ring might be hard to move while spinning or may wear itself or strings, and a ball bearing is a possible solution (like if you could just hold the bearing stationary while the neck spun inside it ).

Someone else on a different video you posted today brought up the hurdy gurdy which I suppose would be the accurate comparison here. I'd love to know if this would produce a similar sound.

stand it upright go 44" scale. it will just stay, contact points from 0-180 so the remain side is deactivated electrically when used electric. perhaps less strings and a tighter radius. you don't need actual fingerboard.. just rings on a threaded center as frets

If you mounted the pickups upside down and off the cylinder, you could rotate the strings into the pickup field to play them. Then accidentally touching other strings would have no effect because nothing would pick them up.

Step 1: fix a bow or a stationary pick to the body so that as the neck rotates, the strings are plucked by the pick or scrape against the bow. Step 2: fix a rod parallel to the neck and attach a guitar finger sleeve to the rod, fashioning it so that the finger sleeve can slide up and down against the strings as they spin. Step 3: connect a hand crank to the neck. You turn the crank with your right hand and fret the strings with the finger sleeve on your left hand, and the rotation automatically picks against the mounted pick (or bow).

...The neck should rotate within a partial sleeve so a player's thumb will rest on a surface and not on strings. This idea comes with a price tag. You need a real guitar player to beta test this thing and give practical feedback....it need to be tweaked much before anybody would consider it even playable.

Multiply the number of things by the amount of beats per second, multiply by 60 and rotate it at that RPM. I'm sure someone could use an Arduino and servos to figure out some way to play it

Brother, I think the best way to play this instrument would be to tune all of the strings to an open chord tuning. Once tuned this way, you should be able to play it while it spins. Don’t worry about fretting the instrument at all, play it with a guitar slide, or a lap steel bar. Enjoy.

while you can't necessarily see what you're doing this way, placing your hands at the front/ bottom of the instrument and leaving a space in the body for plucking/ strumming there (as if holding a large gun or something) should feel very ergonomic for the hands arms and wrists. Even better if the body of the guitar or a brace pushes it further out in front of the body of the player. And then if you attach a lever for either a brake or rotation that you can control with your right elbow, even better.

If you don't have a rest or block on the neck itself to separate your left hand from the strings, I'd suggest a thin leather/pleather glove with the thumb covered but the other four fingers removed. The leather should greatly reduce friction on your hand, but the fingers would have full range of movement.

I would have used a half metal tube for the back of the neck and have the rest scaled down to rotate inside the half tube. It's just too big with too many strings to be manageable. At least with the stationary back of an actual neck, you have somewhere to plant your hand and create a reference location for your fingers. Actually I don't really see any point to the whole thing. Get a violin bow and sculpt out the body of a guitar to make room for bowing.

I would be curious will a motor hooked to it and a bottleneck at different speeds. Or a « tube » that’s inserted over the round neck mounted on bearing that press the string and that you could « wank » around ! Lol super bad idea i love it

Make a sliding capo that can wrap around the whole thing, possibly like a spider capo? where you can hold and release specific strings on the fly. Could have it to where it can let the string be open, fretted, or dampened/muted?

Maybe there could be push pull selection for z coil or individual string pickups, or buttons, so that all the strings were not ON at the same time, necessarily, but could be?

Hook motor up to pedals. Have one for rotating clockwise, and one for counterclockwise. Then use finger picks and a slide. Play it like a pedal steel

Put it on your lap and play it like a slide guitar. It won't matter that way as everything is on the top. If you do it that way then your next project would be all the strings on their own block and chained together like a conveyor belt. You can build a whole portable harp that way.

Hmm, or you could turn off the pickups at the back as the fret cylinder spins? Idk I'm not an engineer 😂

Im kind of hoping the pickup will be stationary while the strings spin over/under it so I can hear what it sounds like when the string isn't fixed above it.

maybe you could have presets where the motor turn it a specific way and mutes all of the pickups that aren't in use. idk how that would work but that seems like the cleanest way to do it (unsolicited advice from a dumb high school student)

maybe instead of a thiccc set of strings you could have 4 sets of 6 going up and down and up and down, this way you can just use a slide or a bow in your left hand and play arpegios as you spin it (with the right tuning ofc) and whenever you stop spinning and start picking you always have a standard 6 string setup on both sides. also if you are going with an electricaly spinning with a pedal solution you can have a home button on it so the servo spins right back to the standard position

I feel like this needs an additional neck to hold on to and have a way to steady your hand. Or even a neck surrounding the rotating bit (I know the rotating bit is supposed to be the neck but whatever). There has to be a flat solid portion to keep yourself steady.

You could have a cam inside with pushes out dampers on strings which aren’t in, say, the front 90° of the cylinder at any given time.
