We started off with a dream…. To build a new musical instrument that someone with a high-level of disability, a quadriplegic, could play hands-free — a new instrument highly accessible that harnessed the power of the pc and rivaled the harmonica but transformed it by triggering hundreds of sounds and expressions though the power of digital music.  We want young children, adults, people with wide ranging abilities, key boardists, guitarists, cutting edge experimental musicians, gamers and more  to please join our community of users and help support one of the world’s newest and most accessible musical instruments.

Jamboxx – noun — consists of both hardware and software that allows for hands-free interaction with your computer thats intuitive and fun.  Now your computer can be one of hundreds of breath driven musical instruments from saxophone to percussion, violin to French horn – all with the ease and simplicity of a harmonica.  For people with disabilities, they have a new way to interact with their computer to play music, access and engage in computer-aided art and access to PC gaming.  There are many other developing uses for the controller including hands-free mouse operation.

Keyboardists and guitarists now have the ultimate accessory for their musical expression- just clamp on a Jamboxx!  It plays like a harmonica but it creates a hands-free interface with your computer allowing for hundreds of parameter configurations in our software.  Its pure expression.
