I’m Chris Andersen. Many of you know me as the inventor and creator of Euphonic Instruments and the Euphone.
As the demand for my Euphone has grown, I decided I wanted to find a partner to join me in further developing and increasing availability of a line of Euphonic instruments. This wasn’t an easy search as I was looking for someone as dedicated to the future of musical instruments as myself. But I am now very happy and excited to announce I found that partner in well known artist and Handpan builder Terence Jay, owner of Acolyte Instruments.
Together we are launching our first product which we believe will be the leader in Acolyte’s new Euphonic line of instruments, the Euphonic ARRAY 1D.
The Euphonic ARRAY 1D is a completely modular and expandable, friction activated musical instrument, and the next generation of my original conception which was created in Kingston NY in 2019 . I believe the ARRAY 1D will bring you a playing and sound experience unlike anything you have seen, heard or felt before!
The Acolyte Instruments Euphonic ARRAY 1D has a total of 9 notes – D3 A3 Bb3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4. For those who are familiar with Handpans it has the same scale layout as the Kurd scale, also more commonly known in music theory as D minor.

While the ARRAY 1D is optimized to play in D minor, all its individual notes are completely interchangeable. For example, if you want to vary the order of your notes (for right or left handed play) OR if you want to add additional notes, you can, enabling you to play in different keys and scales.
Yes this means you CAN play a Euphonic CHROMATICALLY – sometime after launching the ARRAY 1D, we will be releasing the Euphonic CHROMA 1, a fully chromatic instrument with more notes and a higher price point. BUT don’t forget, since all notes will be interchangeable among all models, if you purchase the 1D now, you could later purchase an additional stand, plus the notes you are missing, in order to build your OWN chromatic array!
For everyone in the soundhealing arena – YES we can also tune your instruments to 432hz (for an additional fee and wait time), otherwise our Euphonics are tuned to standard 440hz .
Individual euphones (notes) as well as expansion stands will be available soon.
