Nebula Euphone
Mechanical-Acoustic Sounds for Studio Productions, Film Scores and Soundnerds.
Nebula Euphone owned by Nils Frahm at Funkhaus Studio Berlin
The Nebula Euphone consists of resonators and plates that are excited to vibrate with the help of a keyboard of 48 glass rods. The timbre ranges from organic, glassy sounds to wind-like fortissimo or spacy sounds, with a range of 4 octaves (C to h’’, tuned in semitones). The sound generation is mechanical-acoustic, without electrical amplification. While performing on the Nebula Euphone the player is part of a resonant circuit with the instrument. Individual frequencies of the notes can be felt at the fingertips.
The price of a Nebula Euphone (includes one Metal Resonator, two tonewood Cones [made from spruce or maple] and a string holder) is 12.400 € + VAT and shipping. Older Versions of the Instrument were equipped with fibreglass cones but the new Tonewood Cones sound superior and are therefore now standard (see pictures below)
Options for the instrument are:
additional Metal Resonator (available with more or less overdrive) - 900 €
Transducer to connect external audio devices to the Metal Resonator - 110 €.
