Right. Several musicians have explored woodwind instruments based on similar concepts throughout history. The King C Saxsoprano is one notable example. Read more about the history of instruments built on similar principles and the story of the Glissotar on our history page: glissonic.com/history/

Hi! We’re so glad to hear you like the Glissotar! :) We have an Ambassador in Mitaka-shi, Japan. Would you like me to connect you with him? You can try out the instrument, and of course, you can also order directly from us.

@ Oh hello! Sorry, I wasn't really expecting a reply from you so now I'm kinda feeling nervous haha. I appreciate it though. I'm just a poor university student and currently I don't have any money to buy the instrument so I think I'd cosider buying it when I got richer. Thanks for the information anyways :D

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! We’ve explored this topic in a multi-part blog series, where we also talk about the King C Soprano Sax. We’d love for you to check it out here: glissonic.com/2024/05/21/part-3-similar-instruments-to-the-glissotar-in-the-past-and-present/

Hi! Unfortunately, we don’t have a reseller or Ambassador there at the moment, but follow us on Instagram for the latest updates and consider subscribing to our newsletter!

Not at the moment, but it’s worth subscribing to our newsletter-we always announce new developments there first: glissonic.com/contact-us/

Thank you for your comment! We are aware of Bart Hopkin's work, and in fact, we are in contact with him as well. We've written more about this here: glissonic.com/2024/05/21/part-3-similar-instruments-to-the-glissotar-in-the-past-and-present/ The main difference is that he used a magnetic foil attached to an iron plate, instead of another matching magnetic foil, as we have developed. He has created the Moe instruments for experimental and educational purposes and never made commercial products of them as far as we are concerned. After we contacted him, he wrote about us in his blog: barthopkin.com/more-moe/

One of the "ancestors" of the Glissotar is the Hungarian tárogató, which is where the name comes from. You can read more about it here: glissonic.com/2024/05/21/part-3-similar-instruments-to-the-glissotar-in-the-past-and-present/

In one of our blog posts, we have gathered instruments similar to the Glissotar, which can be found here: glissonic.com/2024/05/21/part-3-similar-instruments-to-the-glissotar-in-the-past-and-present/ We admire similar instruments and aim to highlight ideas like the Glissotar, both from the past and present.

@@glissonic6830 If similar instruments failed 60-90 years ago it's likely that they'll fail now.

This shit also sound very off tune. Soprano sax sounds like this but better and on tune most of the time. Yamaha has also made a spin on the soprano sax, the venova. Boy this ain't no instrument inovation.

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad you like the instrument. One of the "ancestors" of the Glissotar, if we can say so, is the Hungarian tárogató, which is now recognized as a Hungarikum. This heritage is reflected in the instrument’s name. You can read about it more here: glissonic.com/2024/05/21/part-3-similar-instruments-to-the-glissotar-in-the-past-and-present/

Thank you for your comment. The lower and higher notes require a slightly different embouchure, as on the saxophone, but I sometimes use it for intonation as well, which is probably a saxophone reflex.

We are in contact with Bart Hopkin. 🙂 We became aware of his Moe instruments after the submission of our international patent application, as indicated in the response from the PCT bureau. He also wrote about us in his blog: barthopkin.com/more-moe

Yes, you are right, the body of the Glissotar Purpleheart is made of Purpleheart. Purpleheart (or Amaranth, Peltogyne spp.) is a tropical hardwood from Central and South America and it is not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Over the past 120 years, several attempts have been made to create sliding saxophones. You’re probably thinking of the King C Saxoprano. In this blog post, we showcase instruments similar to the Glissotar, including the King C Saxoprano: glissonic.com/2024/05/21/part-3-similar-instruments-to-the-glissotar-in-the-past-and-present/

(basically, you remove the cap, rest one side of the bottle top on your lower lip and adjust the angle so that when you blow air forward, that produce a discernible note. Clarinet players will probably get this naturally
