Here’s another look at the Artiphon Instrument 1, via bbkbest, from the 2013 NAMM Show.

Instrument 1 is an upcoming MIDI controller & instrument that’s compatible with CoreMIDI iOS apps.

It’s designed to be a high-quality instrument. The body of the Instrument 1 is inspired by the forms of traditional stringed instruments and is cut from ‘heirloom-quality’ hardwood. It can be held in multiple familiar positions – from guitar and fiddle to lap steel and upright bass.

The Instrument 1 will be available for order later this spring, and shipping later this year.
