Cartunet

A Cartunet isn’t just an instrument—it’s pure adrenaline on wheels, a high-octane ride through the landscape of sound. You sit on it, feet on the pedals, hands gripping a stationary bar, and suddenly, you’re not just playing music; you’re _driving_ it. The way your feet handle the pedals, the way your hands tweak the controls—it’s like you’re behind the wheel of a street racer, about to take off through winding roads.


Let’s take a closer look at its form. Designed by a world-class team of musicians from the London philanthropic and select members of Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT), this marvelous modern-day musical marvel can sing up to fifteen thousand revolutions per minute. It has a sleek white, curved fiberglass body housing a single black Recaro leather seat with red stitching. In front of the seat and seemingly hovering above the floor, rest three gray Graphite foot pedals positioned in a way that would look at home in most any sports car worth its salt. And there’s even a cup holder for good measure.


Now on to function. The leftmost pedal is the clutch. But, instead of gaining speed through shifts, you’re shifting _octaves_. Move the shifter knob with your right hand and… BAM! The music launches into the stratosphere, bright, echoing notes soaring above everything akin to hitting a long straightaway with the accelerator pinned. Downshift and it’s the opposite—you dive into deep, resonant tones that threaten to rip open the floor. Release the clutch… slowly… and the sound flows, smooth and effortless, your musical score drifting through a perfect turn. But instead, let go fast, and the octave drop hits, _hard, _the road suddenly disappearing beneath you. Oh yeah!


The brake pedal in the middle is all about control. Tap it and the music snaps into staccato beats, sharp and precise. You hear the whir of the compact C-Clef®️ engine. Press harder, and it’s like slamming the brakes—everything pulls back, reverse reverb sucking the sound into a tight, controlled stop. You can pulse it too, keeping a rhythm and making the music throb like an engine at idle.


But the real fun of the Cartunet is that “go” pedal on the right. Press it lightly, and the music starts to swell, like you’re picking up speed on an empty road. Everything builds in slow-motion. Press it harder and, whew, it all kicks into high gear. The tempo ramps up. Notes fire off. Like a nimble car racing through tight corners. But slam the pedal and oh baby—you hit overdrive. The sound; raw, distorted, roaring. A beehive of activity pushed to eleven—_symphonious_ _chaos_ in the extreme.


Play the Cartunet! Rev up your life!
