The hornucopian dronepipe is a 3D printed wind instrument. It was developed by Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg of MONAD Studio together with musician and luthier Scott F. Hall.[1]

Background

MONAD Studio was created by Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg in 2002. They are an architectural company.[2] In April 2015, MONAD unveiled their "Multi" project, which they describe as a "Sonic Art Wall Installation". Originally consisting of a cello, violin and bass guitar, the instruments in the series are all fully 3D printed.[3] The hornucopian dronepipe is the fourth item in the project and was also released in 2015. A fifth instrument exists, which is a didgeridoo.[2][4][5]

Design

The hornucopian dronepipe's design was inspired by pythons and strangler fig trees[6][7][8] (species that are native to MONAD's home state Florida) as well as the didgeridoo.[7][9] It was prototyped in wood and then modeled digitally. The design process took under a year.[2]

The hornucopian dronepipe is printed in black colored polylactic acid; the printing process takes ten days.[2] The instrument encircles its player with numerous tubes; MONAD used measurements of Scott F. Hall's body to ensure a good fit.[2][6]

Sound

The instrument produces a continuous drone when played. Being a large instrument, the hornucopian dronepipe produces low tones. Its sound has been likened to that of a didgeridoo or a low horn.[2][6] According to CNET, the hornucopian dronepipe "is simultaneously somber and stately" while being "a little on the eerie side".[7]
