Unbreakable Musical Instruments

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Blackbird Rider Carbon Fiber Guitar is Strong Yet Lightweight

— October 12, 2015 — Art & Design
Guitars are traditionally made of wood or plastic (depending on the style and size), but the Blackbird Rider Carbon Fiber Guitar is -- as the name denotes -- made from one of the strongest materials out there: carbon fiber. Featuring a one piece construction that increases durability exponentially, the Blackbird Rider Carbon Fiber Guitar has a hollow neck, body and head, which allows sound waves to travel freely throughout the instrument for astounding results.

Because the Blackbird Rider Carbon Fiber Guitar is made with a strong synthetic material, you won't have to worry about getting it wet. The Blackbird Rider Carbon Fiber Guitar is also able to be connected to the optional RMC pickup-per-string/MIDI to instantly make your acoustic strums a little bit deeper and louder.
Trend Themes
1. Carbon-fiber Musical Instruments - Disruptive innovation opportunities include exploring the possibilities of using carbon fiber in other musical instruments to increase durability and improve sound quality.
2. Hollow-body Instrument Design - Disruptive innovation opportunities include utilizing hollow-body construction for instruments other than guitars to improve sound quality and create lightweight, durable instruments.
3. Waterproof Instruments - Disruptive innovation opportunities include exploring the potential for waterproofing other instruments to increase portability and versatility.
Industry Implications
1. Musical Instrument Manufacturing - The use of carbon fiber and the creation of hollow-body designs present exciting opportunities to revolutionize the musical instrument manufacturing industry and improve the quality of musical instruments.
2. Outdoor Performance Equipment - The waterproof and durable nature of the Blackbird Rider Carbon Fiber Guitar presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the outdoor performance equipment industry, allowing musicians to play in unpredictable weather conditions or at outdoor venues without fear of damage to their instruments.
3. Music Education - The creation of lightweight, durable, and unbreakable musical instruments will improve access to music education and encourage more people to learn and play music.
