Woodsong Acoustics Group

Interactive Workshop

Discover the guitar. Find your sound.

An invitation to explore acoustic music, one string at a time. Play our illustrated koa guitar in Hawaiian Taro Patch tuning, add a little body percussion, or look inside to see how it’s built.

Start with a string

Tap a string or a note button to hear it. Try a strum or the fingerpicking demonstration, then choose “Look inside” to reveal the bracing.

With the instrument focused, keys 6–1 play the strings and T taps the body. Press Escape to stop a pattern.

Sound begins only when you interact. The tones are synthesized, not a recording of a real koa guitar.
