Is the Lethelium acoustic or electric?
The Lethelium is an acoustic instrument by default, but it can easily be mic’d or fitted with a pickup for live or studio use. Its rich resonance shines in both analog and amplified settings.

Do I need musical experience to play it?
Not at all. The Lethelium is made for intuitive exploration. Whether you're a seasoned musician or picking up an instrument for the first time, it responds beautifully to curiosity.

And thanks to the Lethelium’s tuning system, those familiar with the piano can pick things up with ease.

How do I tune & maintain it?
Every Lethelium comes with a color-coded tuning system, tools, and a detailed owner’s manual. Maintenance is simple — much like caring for a harp or guitar.

Is it compatible with loop pedals & pickups?
Yes. The Lethelium can be used with contact mics or pickups, and works seamlessly with loop pedals, delay chains, or any live processing gear.

How It All Began

The Lethelium began with a spark of curiosity — a single pluck of a bicycle spoke in a Montreal workshop.

That accidental sound became a question: What if a wheel could sing?

From that question, artist and inventor Lateef Martin began years of experimentation — shaping, tuning, and sculpting a wheel into an instrument…
