Holy hell, I've only just heard of this after someone saw one of my cello vids! It sounds absolutely incredible! What an amazing instrument and performance, bravo!
Undratæki þetta hljóðfæri og flott tónlist, minnir mig á flug í tveggjahreyfla flugvél. Amazing musical instrument and beautiful music, sounds sometimes like flying a twin aeroplane. Love it.
Halldorophones are purpose built electro acoustic string instrument, based on the premise of using electronically induced feedback in a coupled system of strings allowing for the creation of somewhat controlled, timbrally rich drones. In the halldorophone a positive feedback loop is induced in a coupled system of eight strings via electromagnetic pickups and a speaker cone in the soundbox of the instrument, more specifically the vibration of each string is individually detected with a dedicated single coil pickup the levels of which can be trimmed before being amplified and sent to the speaker which vibrates the whole system inducing feedback. Mimicking the major characteristics of a cello (upright, four string, fretless fingerboard, bowable string configuration) it also has four sympathetic strings running below the fingerboard (much like a viola d’amore or a barytone) which are not directly accessible for bowing or plucking but are rather electronically manipulated. All strings have the potential to be (electronically) included in or excluded from the feedback loop.

So, it isn't just a cello? I can't really see what's new or different about this instrument.
