Harpejji

The harpejji (/hɑːrˈpɛdʒiː/ har-PEJ-ee)[1] is an electric stringed musical instrument developed in 2007 by American audio engineer Tim Meeks.

Harpejjis use an electronic muting system to dampen unfretted strings and minimize the impact of sympathetic vibrations.

The latter model includes updates to the internal electronics, a simplification of the fretboard marker system, and a change from maple to bamboo as the primary wood for the instrument.

The first commercial harpejji recording was made by Jordan Rudess for the soundtrack to the God of War III video game.

[11] In the opening episode of Season 3 of Coke Studio India, he played the harpejji in two songs: "Ennile Maha Oliyo"[12] and "Jagao Mere Des.

"[13] The band Walk Off The Earth and guest Scott Helman can be seen playing the harpejji in their music video cover for "Can't Feel My Face".
