Design and build linkages and mechanisms

I was approached to design and build a robotic guitar. The guitar mechanism was inspired by an existing design. The new design must be portable, stable and somewhat “invisible” to the viewer.

I designed the extruded aircraft aluminum brackets provide flexibility. They can be assembled into multiple configurations, onto multiple instruments. 

The printed circuit board was supplied as well as the standard solenoids. I made the custom wiring harness for the solenoids on this instrument.
