Redefining Traditional Practice
Syntrum is a digital trumpet that lets professionals practice anywhere. Its flexible and approachable design offers a solution even for days when motivation is low.
INTRODUCING
Syntrum
OVERVIEW
Guided and Silent
Practicing the trumpet still remains loud and exhausting with few flexible solutions. Syntrum creates digital sound for silent playing through headphones—letting professionals play at ease anytime, anywhere.
FEATURES
Segmented Practice
Removable valves enhance portability and make practice more manageable by enabling focused fingering and ear training. No sound is produced, so players play along with the full song by matching fingering to notes recognized by ear. Removing sound production helps build muscle memory, making full practices smoother.
DETAILS
Controls
The top button manages the pace of practice by playing or pausing the backing track, or completely switching the practice intensity.
The bluetooth button pairs a tablet or phone to the device to access the paired app
ANIMATION
Smart Capabilities
Syntrum will analyze timing and accuracy to provide meaningful feedback through light-up valves. They flash blue as a reminder to take a break when sessions run long, and they illuminate misplayed notes when learning by ear without sheet music or sound production.
UI WIREFRAMES
At Home Setting
For additional structure, a paired app helps suggest pieces, track progress, and provide three guided practice modes in increasing difficulty to help break up repetitive sessions.
UI WIREFRAMES
On-The-Go Setting
The mobile app doesn’t have a sheet music display as it is designed for users to recognize and memorize notes and their fingering pattern by ear.
