# Beer Chalice Symphony Ads Stella Makes Instruments with MIT's Andy Cavatorta Using Stella Chalices By Allen Taylor | Published 2014-03-10 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stella-chalices-symphony References: [trendland](http://trendland.com/stella-artios-the-chalice-symphony/) & [stellaartois](http://www.stellaartois.com/en/ca/home/the-chalice-symphony) Stella Artois unveils a year long project in which an [MIT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Adaptive-zipper-mechanisms) sonic inventor Andy Cavatorta used the iconic [Stella Chalices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chalices) to create four fully functional instruments: the Hive, the Pryophone, the [Star Harp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-hill-farm) and the Violina. By shaving down the Stella Chalices, Cavatorta was able to create 25 different notes giving them a range of two full octaves to play with. Not only are these instruments fully functional but the craftsmanship is also exquisite. Stella incorporated the band Cold War Kids who wrote a new song titled ‘A Million Eyes’ using these instruments. The result was pretty spectacular. Stella has made several popular ad campaigns over the last few years and this addition is one of the best campaigns yet.
