Tentij Instruments Orb Optical Reed Bass
Tentij Instruments shared this short demo of the Orb Optical Reed Bass, a fully analog, two-octave bass piano that is designed to recreate the character of a vintage Wurlitzer in a lower register.
It’s designed for creating basslines with a distinctive low-end growl
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“At the heart of the instrument are optically amplified carbon-fiber reeds, paired with true hammer action. This combination gives the keys a light yet responsive touch and produces a deep analog bass tone.
Tuning is easily done from the outside with the included tool, no need to open the instrument.
The ORB MK1 comes with a ¼” jack output (line-level), USB-C port, and tone and volume knobs with color-coded LEDs. All this makes it a versatile and studio-ready instrument that is surprisingly compact.
Each ORB MK1 is handmade with careful attention to detail. Its vintage-inspired exterior reflects the classic roots of the instrument, while the innovative internal mechanism features a fresh, modern approach to electric piano design: old-school aesthetics with new engineering.”
Here’s a look inside the Orb, and how you can adjust the action:
The Tentij Instruments Orb is available for €1,499.00. A Pro edition is also available.
