BA Design Warm-Up – Foundation Course

semester
I decided to merge a stringed instrument, the viola, and a wind instrument, the didgeridoo which is an ancient instrument of the Australian Aboriginal populations. One of the aspects on which I focused the most in designing the new instrument is certainly ergonomics and functionality, for this reason I tried to model the shapes of the didgeridoo around and inside the viola case. The instrument is also designed to be played at the same time. I kept the proportions of the viola, of which there are many formats, while I distorted and redesigned the shape of the didgeridoo.
