Triolin

Challenging the notion of the violin as a solo instrument, the Triolin encourages its players to move beyond visual and aural communication by creating a space that requires direct physical interaction.

I wonder how three cellists would sound on this, because the way those three girls are holding it, it’s like a horizontal tiny cello!

Don’t bring it to the Southern States. Titebond liquid hide glue doesn’t hold up well in humid weather at all. It might fall apart.

You need to post some Youtube of the instrument being played. BTW,one section has a larger lower bout. Is this more viola sounding? Neat idea!
