Dear Fans of the Harpejji,

Two years after introducing the groundbreaking harpejji d1 in January of 2008, Marcodi now unveils its much improved successor, the harpejji k24. :lol: Since the original launch, Marcodi has sold many instruments, gathered feedback, researched, developed and built a better, more satisfying machine. In short, if you have ever played the harpejji d1, you will find that the k24 is a whole new ball game. Let me highlight the improvements that come with the k24:

New On-Board Preamp (photo below)
- Factory-set volume compensation on every string makes the instrument balanced from the lowest to the highest string
- Factory-set custom EQ tailored to each individual string, to give each string a rounder, more pleasant tone
- Electronic muting of each individual string. This eliminates ALL unwanted ringing of open strings and allows the player to strum without accentuating any open strings.
- Bass/Melody split is now between strings 8 and 9 (rather than 12 and 13) to provide a complete guitar range (and then some) for the melody side
- Extremely versatile tone knob on the melody side, which goes from "Jazz Mellow" to "Bright Acoustic" and everywhere in between.
- Much quieter noise floor
- Output level that works nicely with both keyboard amps and guitar pedals/ amps
(more benefits below the photo)

Better Playability
- Higher tension strings are less susceptible to pitch problems from over-pressure, stay in tune longer and tune easier
- Lower action means you can play with a lighter touch
- Numerous mechanical improvements have led to more precise intonation

A more intuitive Marker System
- Angled flow visually places chromatic steps "between" whole tone steps, more like a piano
- Repeat notes "point" to each other

You've just got to to try it out for yourself. I know you will love it.

Sincerely,

Here is a brand new video of Jordan Rudess checking out the harpejji K24 [Note: the markers on this instrument are of the older d1 variety].

And this video of Tim and Joy Meeks also features the harpejji K24:

Just placed my order in today for a K24 today! Looking like a late Apr delivery. I'm really excited to be part of the harpejji community! Hope to work with you all in the future.
