You can also use open source hardware to make music. All of the instruments described in this article are [certified by the Open Source Hardware Association][3] (OSHWA). That means you are free to build upon them, remix them, or do anything else with them. + +### Open source instruments + +Instruments are always a good place to start when you want to make music. If your instrument choices lean towards the more traditional, the [F-F-Fiddle][4] may be the one for you. + +![F-f-fiddle][5] + +The F-F-Fiddle is a full-sized electric violin that you can make with a standard desktop 3D printer ([fused filament fabrication][6]—get it?). If you need to see it to believe it, here is a video of the F-F-Fiddle in action: + +Mastered the fiddle and interested in something a bit more exotic? How about the [Open Theremin][7]? + +![Open Theremin][8] + +Like all theremins, Open Theremin lets you play music without touching the instrument. It is, of course, especially good at making [creepy space sounds][9] for your next sci-fi video or space-themed party. + +The [Waft][10] operates similarly by allowing you to control sounds remotely. It uses [Lidar][11] to measure the distance of your hand from the sensor. Check it out: + +Is the Waft a theremin? I'm not sure—theremin pedants should weigh in below in the comments. + +If theremins are too well-known for you, [SIGNUM][12] may be just what you are looking for. In the words of its developers, SIGNUM "uncovers the encrypted codes of information and the language of man/machine communication" by turning invisible wireless communications into audible signals. + +![SIGNUM][13] + +Here is in action: + +### Inputs + +Regardless of what instrument you use, you will need to plug it into something. If you want that something to be a Raspberry Pi, try the [AudioSense-Pi][14], which allows you to connect multiple inputs and outputs to your Pi at once. + +![AudioSense-Pi][15] + +### Synths + +What about synthesizers? SparkFun's [SparkPunk Sound Kit][16] is a simple synth that gives you lots of room to play. + +![SparkFun SparkPunk Sound Kit][17] + +### Headphones + +Making all this music is great, but you also need to think about how you will listen to it. Fortunately, [EQ-1 headphones][18] are open source and 3D-printable. + +![EQ-1 headphones][19] + +Are you making music with open source hardware?
