The Artiphon Instrument 1 is an electronic instrument that can emulate a violin or viola and is played in a variety of ways to suit the player’s physical needs.

  • One handed operation – using ‘Tap’ mode either hand can be used or even a selection of digits from either hand or just one digit for single notes.
  • Various playing positions – the instrument can be laid flat or supported in a particular position to suit the individual player.

The video below shows the Artiphon Instrument 1 emulating a violin but this same effect can be achieved in ‘Tap’ mode.

An OHMI bow holder can enable someone with a digit weakness or missing digits to have a more secure hold of the bow.

A bowing guide can help a player to bow using the correct action while practising.
