Experience the sound and movement on video.
Watch the mechanism move inside the transparent tube, plucking the comb teeth and producing music in real time.
Playback includes sound. Adjust the volume before listening.
Resonance refined by craftspeople, one note at a time.
KANATA uses SD-card performance data to control a mechanism that directly plucks the 40-note comb. The mechanism itself creates the sound, with the dedicated stand adding rich resonance.
Experienced craftspeople tune the comb while checking each note. Precision engineering and human sensitivity create the clear sound.
Japanese engineering and design in one music box.
Combining Nidec Instruments' precision technology, industrial designer Ken Okuyama's form and Tendo Mokko's molded-plywood expertise, it gives a new shape to a long-established sound.
