3D Printed Instruments and Love
Description
Eddy Jay, a professional accordionist, took on a wild challenge from his skeptical dad to build a concertina—using a 3D printer, no less. After ten rejected prototypes, his dad was finally won over, even playing one with its quirky green top. Six years later, Eddy’s custom 3D-printed concertinas have shipped worldwide, and he met his wife, Josephine, a musician, when she helped deliver one. He even built her a unique blue violin with an extra string that matched her eyes—played at their wedding, described as “velvety smooth.” Though carbon fiber gave the best sound, it lacked visual flair. Now Eddy teaches workshops and is blending his digital skills with traditional wood via a CNC machine he built, aiming to fuse old-school craftsmanship with modern tech.
