What you're actually buying
Every Tendril you see here is hand-made and 3D-printed by me, one at a time, on my own desk. The enclosure is printed, the electronics are hand-wired, and the case gets numbered and signed before it ships. What you get in the mail is a working, one-of-a-kind instrument — not a render.
The production version is coming: a powder-coated aluminum enclosure, made in a real run. Every hand-made prototype ships with a 50% off coupon code toward that production unit when it's released — so buying one now is also a discount on the version later.
