Tweeran (2 stringed instrument) by MeTheKing

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The tweeran is a small 2-stringed instrument I designed. Its name comes from the dutch term "twee snaren", which translates to "two strings". It has a very sensitive floating neck tremolo built in. The 2 nylon strings are tuned to E and A and played with your right thumb and pointer finger. It has an 11 inch neck (it is fret less) to play with your left hand. To bend notes, you can physically bend the instrument in half.
The neck is not physically attached to the body, but is instead held in place by a delicate balance of rubber bands and string tension. The files for this instrument contain 2 kinds of bodies (deep and shallow, depending on the depth of the instrument) and 3 types of neck (free note bending, only down note bending or no note bending), and each type affects how the instrument plays.
For instance, if you were to have a shallow body with a free bending neck, you could bend your notes up or down, and the body would be convenient to play but not very loud. The setup I use is a shallow body with a down bending only neck (meaning you can't bend notes up, which is better for the strings).
The tweeran prints in 3-4 prints, depending on your print bed size.
