SAP OF THE ELM
Vibrational instrument with 38 strings – singing leaf

Sap of the Elm is a poetic and intuitive instrument inspired by the elegant shape of the elm leaf. Its broad body, crafted from Baltic cherry wood, resonates deeply and generously thanks to its 38 stainless steel strings, arranged across three registers:

The Earth – 14 low strings tuned in fifths
A single-string section placed at the top represents the nourishing soil and roots. These strings can be gently brushed or struck to produce deep, enveloping vibrations that soothe the nervous system.
The Sap – 12 mid-range strings in a pentatonic scale
Tuned to create a smooth and open progression, they express the vital surge of rising sap. Each note awakens an inner movement, stimulating energy and intuition.
The Foliage – 12 high strings in a pentatonic scale
Light and shimmering, these strings evoke leaves trembling in the spring breeze. They bring light, mental clarity, and a sense of spiritual awakening.

Sap of the Elm can be played in two ways:
