Some of these are mine, others belong to the center or are on loan to me or the center. I and feel a little awkward taking up so much space on this forum with a list of them, since there is a big section of the SEJIC web site devoted to them. But I'll give it a start: 1. Paia Theremax thermin (all pitches and tunings) 2. Cosmolyra - originally built by Ivor Darreg, restored by Buzz Kimball and then put into it's final form by me: Side 1: Harmonic Series 4-16 on G=384 cps. Side 2: Subharmonic Series 3-12 Side 3: - Otonality hexad: 4/5/6/7/9/11 - Utonality Hexad: 4/5/6/7/9/11 - 6 unisons for chorused melody Side 4: Harmonics 1 (tripled), 2,3,4 (doubled) 3. Starrboard- Strings tuned to harmonics 2-18 and subharmonics 1-12. Fretts remain in equal temperament, so modulation is limited to factors of 3 and 2. 4. Electric diamond marimba -built by Jeff Bunting - same layout as Harry Partch's, but made of steel bars with magnetic pickups under each. 5. Bass Marimba - Harmonics 2-10 with added 9/32 and 27/64 6. Wood Xylophones - One is harmonic series 16-32 on C, repeated in 4.5 dupeles. the other is Subharmonics on G and C with harmonics on A, Eb, Ab and F. 7. Hammerstrings - Harmonics 2-18 on C=256, subharmonics 1-12 in high register, Subharmonics 1- 19 in low register. 8. Orchestral Chimes - harmonics 3-16 on C. Subharmonics, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, with duple (higher) equivelents of 7, 9, 11. 9. Tubular Bells - Harmonics 4-24, Subharmonics 2-12. 10. Fretless electric guitar. 11. Guitar refretted to harmonic series 24-48 (Lots of modes and keys available). 12. Set of Fipple Pipes and custom recorders to play Entire 17 limit matrix. 13. Arp 2500 analog synthesizer. 14.
