A result we are proud of
The trillo Kickstarter campaign has officially ended, and we could not be happier with the result. Thanks to the support of our community, the project went far beyond its initial goal, reaching 600% of the funding target. It has been an intense journey, filled with enthusiasm, feedback, shares, and support from people who believed in the project from day one.
What is trillo?
trillo is a pocket-sized digital wind instrument designed to make music more immediate, accessible, and expressive. It combines the familiar feel of a wind instrument with the creative possibilities of digital technology, all in a compact and portable format. The goal is to offer an instrument that is easy to start with, but flexible enough for musicians, creators, students, teachers, and performers in more advanced contexts too.
What can it do?
trillo includes onboard sounds, backing tracks, expressive sensors, headphone audio output, and MIDI connectivity via USB-C and Bluetooth. It can be used as a standalone instrument, without the need for a computer or external gear, or connected to a DAW, virtual instruments, and plugins to control sounds and parameters in real time. Its sensors allow breath, motion, and gestures to become part of musical expression, opening new possibilities for performance, practice, and production.
A campaign built together
One of the most important parts of this campaign was the constant dialogue with our backers. Comments, questions, and suggestions helped us better understand what the community expects from trillo and which directions could make the product even more interesting. This conversation will continue in the next phases, as we work on development, product refinement, and production preparation.
A “thank you” to everyone who believed in the project
We want to thank every single person who contributed: those who pledged, shared the campaign, wrote to us, or talked about trillo with friends, musicians, teachers, and creators. Every action made a difference and helped us turn an idea into something much more concrete.
The journey continues
Even though the Kickstarter campaign has ended, the trillo journey continues. Late pledges are now open, allowing those who missed the campaign to still get trillo at a price below the future retail price.
