I am wondering How to buy the kora electric
I’m Frank Garvey, director of OmniCircus and the MOTH NOR RUST band in San Francisco. I am interested in purchasing an electric Kora. Please advise on pricing, availability etc. I’m in a band with Daniel Berkman, a great Kora player and electronic musician, and I am working with Ben Lewry of Visionary Instruments to design a cutting edge Midi Kora. Thanks!
Very beatifull instrument.
Can u tell the price??

Hi Rick
Thanks!
the tuning can vary according to the song. this is design is based on a traditional Kora though with 7 more string added. the strings are all fishing line. i hope that Gordon will have a recording for us soon.
