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.

Famous quotes containing the words invented and/or instruments:
“The word “tomorrow” was invented for indecisive people and for children.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
