The surface shape of the diaphragm of acoustic instruments, such as flat tops and arched tops, plays a significant role in how the sound resonates and is also a key point that characterizes each instrument.
During the production of C1Aperture and other instruments, we were exposed to the potential of carbon fiber materials with a unique sound quality. In order to further pursue this potential, we made an attempt to produce instruments with an arched top structure made of carbon fiber materials.
This surface plate features a three-dimensionally curved shell structure, which is stronger than a flat top structure, making it possible to make the material as thin as possible.
Wood is used for the areas that come into contact with the human body, and the arched top made of carbon fiber material is used for the surface diaphragm, the key component of sound.
Our hope is that the tones created from this instrument, which would not have existed before, will provide new inspiration to the players and audiences.
