‘EXCITING NEWNESS COMING SOON - KEEP TUNED’

The Hollow

“Hollow finds its place when Intent is set”

Designing the unseen to create a breath instrument that manifests intent through sound by virtue of a great breath that generates powerful vibrational energy

                                                                       ANCIENT OLD - Modern approach

The emptiness that we cannot see make this instrument useful. Features can enhance its value, yet they are done so to serve the usefulness of the emptiness. The emptiness is the reason for this instruments existence

Designing the Hollow space / internal bore of the instrument has a direct relationship in understanding the nature of the material being used. 

Bore design is where the magic is artfully concealed.

The elegant simplicity of the outer form goes to conceal inner refinements that are quite subtle and complex. And so the Instruments inner core or 'Heart' is it's bore, it has been designed & contoured so that the entire bore is of harmonious balance. These instruments are crafted to exquisite refinement for pitch, tone, dynamics and response. Yet i do believe that the refining of the Hollow space and it's design are infinite.

I feel bore design is about drawing clean lines, its a balancing act - the highs must be balanced with the lows, and all parts of the instruments bore brought into alignment with each other.

I see the designing of the bore as a holistic art, an ongoing journey into correcting bore imbalances, 'to produce an instrument of harmonious proportions'. There are certain beneficial pressure points along the instruments bore, each with their own remedial indicators. If the upper, mid and lower fundamentals are out of alignment, you would look to correct the bore where needed, to bring into balance. The heart of the highs, mids and lows live within different proportions of the bores pressure points. These considerations must be balanced with a consideration for the whole.
