The StringStation is an amazing surround sound music instrument based in Seattle. My name is Jim Bartz, I am a professional recording engineer/artist/inventor. I have designed and built a pre-prototype model of a new music instrument that reveals an advanced music and 3D sound creation technology.

I have reached the limitations of my self funded pre-prototype instrument model and now seek to realize the fully-functional, final designed version of the StringStation™.

I am raising funds to build and present this stunning instrument. The investment will be used to complete the intricate design process, computer interfacing and final construction.

The powerful sound and music of this instrument focused in the recording studio is what I seek to attain. I know therein lays the discovery and portrayal of a deep and detailed art form that will communicate an inspiration of a lifetime... I hope to make its art timeless and forever momentous. It's a beautiful and bold ambition, I hope you'll lend your support.
