Print your own flute...or create some entirely new instrument to print
Multi-pipe trumpet concept by Amit Zoran
Seth Hunter tries out a freshly printed flute for acoustic quality. The flute was printed by MIT Media Lab researcher Amit Zoran, as he sought to see if human crafting was needed to create a worthy instrument. 3-D printing could allow a wide variety of new instruments to develop, such as the multi-pipe trumpet concept pictured, and digital modeling coupled with the speed and low cost of printing would allow the design to be tweaked without creating expensive custom molds. Electronic instruments have largely been freed from traditional form and designers have been playing with a range of possibilities in design as in electric violin forms .
