“Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Music is magic. It takes us places. Like a magic carpet it can carry us deep within ourselves, far beyond ourselves, and anywhere in between. It transports us through time and space. It transcends languages. It has the power to move us. To comfort us. To heal us. To save us.
This instrument pays tribute to the magical quality of music by combining traditional musical notation with alchemical symbols.
More on the Music Design
If you look closely, you’ll see an “A” for Alkemi, the Sun and the Moon, the four elements of Air, Water, Earth and Fire, the planets Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn and Pluto, the Crown, and of course the Heart and Hand which are primary to making music. The design is laser etched on the soundboard and then hand tinted for contrast.
