Invented Instruments
Reichel constructed and built several variations of guitars and basses, most of them featuring multiple fretboards and unique positioning of pickups and 3rd bridges. The resulting sounds exceeded the range of conventional tuning and added unusual effects, from odd overtones to metallic noises, to his play.
His Daxophone is a single wooden blade fixed in a block containing a contact microphone, which is played mostly with a bow.
