Musicians increasingly want customizable, open-source instruments but lack the skills to build them from scratch. Offer DIY kits with pre-assembled components and detailed instructions. Hobbyists and indie musicians would pay for accessible, customizable hardware. Start with a basic sampler kit and expand the product line over time. The biggest risk is competition from proprietary instruments, but the niche appeal of open-source could win enthusiasts.
Open-source sampler instrument kits
Sell DIY kits for building open-source sampler instruments like CHOMPI. Target musicians and hobbyists interested in hardware tinkering.
Why now
