Pibgorn Plastig (Plastic)
Design: I created and tested this design from wood with a traditional cane reed. This design was then converted to engineering plans and then to 3D CAD files where the plastic prototype was produced.
Testing: This prototype was then tested for stability, volume and robustness over a period of almost 3 years in live performances and solo playing by myself and other musicians. The Pibgorn was then put into production. It is currently available in the key of D / Re.
Cynllun: Fe wnes i greu a phrofi’r cynllun mewn pren yn gyntaf, gyda chorsen traddodiadol o gansen. Fe wnaed cynlluniau peirianyddol o’r rhain, ac wedyn gwnaed ffeiliau CAD 3D er mwyn creu y prototeip o’r rhain.
Proses brofi: Cafodd y prototeip ei brofi o ran sefydlogrwydd, uchder sŵn, a chadernid dros gyfnod o dair blynedd mewn perfformiadau byw a chanu unigol gen i a cherddorion eraill. Ail-gynlluniwyd a symleiddiwyd y cyrn, gan gael gwared ar ymylon miniog er mwyn gwella’r golwg a diogelwch. Yna cychwynnwyd ar gynhyrchu’r pibgorn.
