you can read more about this revolutionary invention in bart hopkin's 1996 book on musical instrument design (pages 80-81), where he mentions the multiple patents already existing over the idea. he also talks at length about the instrument on his website.
Thank you! Tune in on 31 May 2021 to our live-streamed concert where Dániel Váczi plays selected pieces written for the instrument and submitted to our call for scores. Here are the details: facebook.com/events/231518442075083.
Thank you very much, Dimitri! We are very much looking forward to the next steps of the project: a live-streamed concert, recording of the new works coming from composers around the world, and a presentation for children. Keep tuned!

This instrument is totally misnamed. As a wind instrument, not a stringed instrument, so maybe it should be ‘glissophone’, but that’s not right either. Glissandos are discrete steps, either chromatic or scale based. A continuous pitch slide is more correctly termed; portamento or glide. So how about ‘Portaphone’ or ‘Glidephone’?
Basically it is a reed instrument that operates as a stringed one. Genial! Cut the "experimental" thing though. Nobody really likes that. Play real music, as i see you can do, and your instrument can have a chance.

Incredible! I can't wait to see how this instrument evolves.

Damn this is fascinating. A slide-sax almost.

The “Tar” comes from Tarogato not guitar.
They plan on expanding the glissonic family, so glissophone will prolly be the glissando saxophone
