e/Gravikord

Information
has gloss	eng: The gravikord is an electric double harp invented and patented by Robert Grawi in 1986. It is modeled after the 21-string West African kora. It is made of welded stainless steel tubing, with 24 nylon strings but no resonating gourd or skin. The bridge is a synthetic material designed very differently from the kora and the range of pitches is greater. While the hands are in a more ergonomic and natural position to the strings, the playing technique is similar to that of the kora: the player plucks the strings with the thumb and index finger of each hand. The instrument is tuned in a strictly symmetrical alternate tuning, not in the very asymmetrical traditional kora tuning.
