That sounds exceptional!

[@gerardyun]

Just amazing work on this SOMA. Can't wait to get this and use it for community music here in Canada. Brilliant, brilliant.

[@NicoHolloman]

@@TheMainCharacter93 you really did XD there are at least 3 innuendos in there.

[@XanderEwald]

Brillant! I love that your instruments add other flavors to the palette instead of sounding like everyone else’s.

[@KnightMirkoYo]

Dear Vlad, I am so looking forward to this! I feel I still have a long road to truly master vast possibilities of Pipe, and this beauty will be next. I can't thnk you enough for all your innovative work.

[@RonCavagnaro]

The proof of genius! What you have given our studios to other artists!

[@IbarRatan]

I have one Dvina and it's dream! Pure love, such a sound! Great instrument. Big respect to its author Viktor Grigoriev.

[@TheMainCharacter93]

i will buy one the moment you start building them!

[@lykkewass2291]

The music, as always, is beautiful. Cheers Mr Kreimer ! You guy are the best ! Keep rocking ✌️🙏

[@PSILOCYBINISTHEWAY]

BRING IT BACK!

[@richdawson2521]

Mine arrived and it’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you!

[@kosmikmusa]

Very nice. I look forward to hear this more. This is what I would like to have. Saving now. Thanks for your innovation.

[@domingoleija3436]

Portable snake charming tool 🎼👑 I would definitely love to get my hands on that mesmerizing yet simple instrument

[@dr.getter7118]

I enjoyed the music in this video very much. It calmed me. Thank you.

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

I don't even play any sort of bowed instrument but this thing sounds so fantastic, I'm very tempted to start.

[@djformalin]

Your best customer in Thailand waiting for the release 🎼

[@NicoHolloman]

Would love to see you build guitars with this pickup technology! DVINA sounds great though!

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Spectacular. 🎶🔝🎶

Amazing instrument!!

Another of your amazing instruments I can't wait to get my hands on :o

Can’t wait to fall in love with this instrument...

[@H4nsoftheHearts]

This is so great!

[@immersiveworlds]

Great build design and sound!

[@edmontontech2008]

I bet you could bang out that Violin track, On The Beach from The Queen of the Damned perfectly on this.

[@midnightsocean2689]

This sounds soooooooooooooooo organic, round and balanced. Light years ahead of other new "electrified" string instruments I've heard. I love that it's fret-less. Really fulfills it's free spirited karma, allowing any temperaments or free form tuned playing. It's really only limited by how much one is willing to practice their hand skills. :3 Love seeing the work shop. This thing feels so right.

[@infinity528hz5]

Can´t wait to get one

[@davi11994]

It sound very great and unique

[@sp3ct3rsd3mos]

This is so on my list for later this year

[@jayschweig4323]

Oh man -- I can't wait to play this!

[@blacktetris4191]

Волшебный инструмент!

[@philiprowney]

Mad. You've made a combo Sitar, violin. I wonder at the instrument's range with only 2 strings. I love the depth of sound from the 'extended' version. So middle-Europe/12th century. Sounds great though :0D

[@johnnymidnight2982]

I will get one. Promise. I'm plugging it into my FSS TG-5 preamp and strumming it with an e-bow. That and plenty of noise from the Lyra Delay. Can't wait!

[@joanofworms]

Beautiful and full of feeling ! Thank you for letting this talk :)

[@matthewtunnicliffe201]

Sounds incredible! And I'm a synth guy with an unnatural love for trackers and have never played any form of string instrument in my life. This thing could lure me to the stringed side.

[@Softlol]

Same. I will probably get this sometime as it’s kinda cheap. It’s hand made and sound this good. Absolutely worth the price.

[@Softlol]

@1e0isfdkorblpg the materials alone are over $50 lol. And I guess you would work for free? Do not try create and sell stuff if you think that’s a fair price. You would ruin your business in a week.

[@jbowmanmusic]

Sounds great!

[@solaroberto7435]

Molto bravo. Ciao Vlad Kreimer.

[@tarekmansur]

I want one!!! VLAD I LOVE YOU!!!

[@CorbenEdward]

I'd love to build one of these with $10 of wood and invest the rest in nice parts and onboard effects! Cool Idea!

[@rokusyperen2240]

It seems that genius Vlad made the instruments such as Lyra, Enner, Terra and Dvina, merely for himself, the way he plays them so natrually, that only few musicians could really match, and I am not one of them.

[@indiefilmcomposer]

Fantastic instrument Wow will order

[@ziedmeddebhamrouni3315]

Amazing Sound !

[@heimlichvonbladderburst8348]

Wow, really lovely sound. Could be a seriously big learning curve to play as well as the chap here. How many years does it take to learn the cello or similar string instruments?

[@bearshield7138]

very cool

[@parsa.mostaghim]

fantastic

[@alanc6752]

That's damn cool!

[@revjnegative]

Proud owner of #91 here, wondering what scale you have marked on your Dvina. Trying to get away from western scales/noise and love love this sound.

[@paul_malhotra]

Sick! I want thisssss asap!

[@MaksimSidenko-t2s]

Ну что, взять ножку от стула, прикрутить струну одну или две, поставить пьезу и выуаля - готов инструмент! Остальное сделает набор гитарных комбиков и звуковуха в ноуте... Главное - настроить правильно!

[@edmontontech2008]

I need this to obtain enlightenment.

[@domingoleija3436]

someday i will find one

How to buy this instrument

Go to thomann

[@Stephen_Strange]

All these SOMA lab instruments look like they are straight out of a Star Wars musical band.

[@Kkidzz]

Dvina through Pulsar-23..... speechless. 5:20 ..... bummer, no Aleksandr Balandin dismount from Victor.. :(

[@v0Xx60]

Really cool, reminds me of an erhu.

[@manmaas]

What's the tuning here? I've now received mine but want this more 'eastern' sound.

[@globalsoundmmxxii8871]

cool

[@shaman_team]

Thank You for Your opinion, but I agree with You only partially. You need to be able to play any instrument in order to get the most out of it. Regardless of whether it is a violin or a tambourine. Isn't it?-)

[@Fluidstructure]

Very fuckin cool. Great work! I needs one

[@danielecamarda]

Nice! Why not to add a dsp as in the Pipe?

[@ПанчеБујуклиев]

Добро, предобро

[@castrosfriendche1041]

What kind of strings does it come with? And what are they tuned to for this beautiful piece(s)?

[@somasynths]

This is cello strings tuned C# G#

Здравствуйте, не могли бы вы поделится как правильно, вернее как у вас, размечена Двина. я имею ввиду гриф. Я собрал Двину сам а вот насчет разметки ....никак. Заранее спасибо

No

Hello Vlad. I want to purchase this beautiful instrument , but I get no answer on my request at Soma. Are they any problems with email correspondence or am I just to impatient? =P anyway , I love yours and Victor's work , you will change how we make music and i hope I'll be sooner or later a proud owner of the Dvina.

wow does anyone know the names of the persian instruments that might have inspired this?

[@timurizhbulatov2116]

Persian kamanchen, Russian gudok, Mongol morin khoor, Tatar/Kazakh/Bashkir/Turkic kobyz etc. It's such a basic idea so it has many incarnations with different names

[@andykandolf1948]

also don't forget the Chinese erhu, I find it sounds the most similar to dvina. :-)

Can i please just order one now!?!? Please take my money!

[@elitefitrea]

does it djent?

[@thomasbrown3325]

What is the scale length? Does it use guitar strings?

[@somasynths]

The scale is 51 cm. We use flatwound electric guitar strings. Cello strings I think have to work as well (need to try)

[@bartmark5744]

and what about Pulsar23?

Одна палка, два струна! Совершенный инструмент-лар

[@marcbrasse747]

A great instruemnt but it has one big (commercial) limitation: Just as with a violin you need to be an expert player to get the best out of it. This actually makes it almost diametricly opposed to other Soma instruments which are more tuned towards intuitive use.

Who's the player?

[@somasynths]

Vlad Kreimer - the inventor

Why Dvina?
