The instrument
The Trigtare™ carries six string networks shaped like an inverted Y. To the usual playing length of an electric guitar, from the nut to the main bridge, it adds a further part, where the lower sections of the inverted Y are anchored. These networks are what give the Trigtare its sonic signature.
Two playing modes on one instrument
A mechanism called the trickeur lets you switch between the two playing modes quickly, with one hand.
The guitarist can therefore keep their usual playing: they gain an additional sound world, available at any moment, mid-performance.
The origin of the name Trigtare
The prefix “TRI” stands for the three string sections forming the Y networks that have always defined the “tritare”; the “G” stands for the guitar mode that was added. The full story of the name is on the About page.
