Designing an instrument for the user what a concept! It's amazing that a plank of wood with a stick attached to it became an acceptable standard. Okay, so it's easy to mass-produce - quanity above quality. Thank you for exploring and giving inspiration. I think the bass is awesome. Designing an instrument for the user what a concept!

There is such an amazing difference between a "conventional" bass and an ergonomic bass...it's the difference between conforming to an awkward shape in order to play vs. just playing music and never noticing the instrument itself. An effective design will simply "vanish" and allow the mind and body to work without distraction. In comparison traditional commercial basses feel like wrestling with a surfboard in a windstorm. An effective design should balance and never require your playing hand to support the neck. Custom ergonomics are even more "transparent" and an important tool for those who are deeply invested in their music. We're hoping the work we're doing at eLUTHERIE.org will begin to inspire musicians to demand higher quality more comfortable instrument designs. Cheers, Rick Toone Thanks, Benjamin.

I was thinking about things like this the other day after reading this article about a custom made ergonomic bass: http://www.elutherie.org/2008/02/bass-guitar-design.html It does intrigue me how much emphasis is often put on sound quality of a bass, and then it seems little thought on how the bass "fits" people. Like, theres what, maybe two or three main body shapes that bass guitars conform to? And we expect these to be comfortable for everyone. I personally would love to play an ergonomic bass. With my bass (admittedly bought by a very naive beginner!) the curve at the bottom doesn't conform well to my leg, the top horn digs into my sternum and I have to really angle the wrist to reach the high frets (15-24). It needs to be designed more open down there. Definately when I buy my next one, comforts going to be first on the priority list! :P The Orchid looks beautiful!

The Orchid has some interesting ergonomic details - even the head stock looks carefully cut down.

I'd love to give one of those a try some day, or something built with similar principles. Nice find, Benjamin.
