Electric Custom
Electric Custom is a hurdy-gurdy created with the stage in mind. Its semi-hollow construction, with a partially hollowed-out body, allows for reliable amplification even alongside drums and guitars, while preserving the natural character of the hurdy-gurdy's sound. It also opens up a wide range of possibilities for effects and further sound processing.
The model was commissioned by Michalina Malisz-Martuś, who needed an instrument specifically for live performance. Alongside sound, equally important considerations were low weight, portability on tour, including air travel, and an appearance that stands out on stage.
Today, Electric Custom is a line of instruments with a wide range of electronics configurations and extensive options for customising their features and appearance.
