吉他-水果系列
Exploratory series on tonality, ladder-type bracing patterns, and ergonomics.
2008 年，André 制作了一系列 5 Guitare-Fruit。本质上是葫芦班卓琴的变体，当然也受到非洲科拉乐器的影响，这些小琴体的吉他具有非常独特的音色。
它们非常适合录制工作。
有些已经出现在电影配乐和配乐中。
此页面上有一些声音字节。
在 2009 年的蒙特利尔吉他展上展示了两个；他们一口气卖光了，除了最近的Guitare-Fruit Wurcer之外，再也没有制造过。
Guitare - Fruit no. 1
吉他 - 水果 5
More precisely worked through this series are:
-
The neck through which is hollow, letting the sound pass towards the head (as in the indian sitar).
-
The sequential ladder bracing, different for each
-
The glued-on wooden pick guard which is voiced as part of the soundboard.
-
The assembly-type design of the headstock which has been used many times in my work (and elsewhere) since.

Guitare - Fruit no. 3 built for Rolf Klausener (The Acorn).
吉他 - 水果 3
Detail of the body profile showing the armrest made of the same material as that of the soundboard:

This component detail led me later (2011) to create Oudtar's slanted cutaway according to the same principle, here bending the red spruce to create the visual extension of its soundboard.

"Thanks for sending this link, and thank you again for the wonderful work on the Gourdguitar. It's soooooo wonderful.
I'm attaching a song from our upcoming album that was written and performed on the gourd.
it's a really simple song, but i think the gourd sounds fantastic in this song."
Okay, I must run, but i'll talk to you soon. Keep sending any ideas whenever you have them!
Infinite thanks again!
