The Harmoni Guitar From Openhagen Taps in to Our Need to Riff

"Music is synonymous with the human experience, one of the many facets of civilization that brought our ancestors together. As simultaneously mundane and divine as food or shelter, music is essential to carrying on cultural identity, shaping our world at large. If you've ever learned a piece of music with others, or joined in a chorus, a magic takes shape: the voices themselves coalesce into the symphony, joining a larger narrative."

"From the largest pieces of offcuts, a slim but substantial guitar stand emerges, forming an almost trompe l'oeil vase when not in use. A Nordic horse, carved from the leftover pieces from fashioning the neck, take new life as an included capo, giving the fingers a bit of a rest. From the cutout of the center, a coaster takes new life, bringing a touch of the guitar outside the body, allowing an extension of play."

Music anchors cultural identity and fosters communal expression across generations. The Harmoni guitar delivers tranquility and balance through a hand-tuned solid mahogany body crafted by Danish luthiers. A rosewood fretboard and D'Addario strings provide crisp attack and smooth sustain, creating warmth against the mahogany. Offcuts are repurposed into a slim guitar stand that resembles a vase, a carved Nordic horse capo from neck remnants, and a coaster cut from the center. The magnetic stand integrates with small inset magnets for seamless standing-to-playing transition. The included stand keeps the instrument within arm's reach for spontaneous jams and casual playing.
