Les Claypool's Production Whamola  #officialwhamola

2 years ago, Les approached me to design a commercial version of the Whamola, an instrument he popularised over the years through live performances and in recording the South Park theme.

It was an exciting project to jump on. Given my history of inventing unusual instruments, my mind was already wired for the task. 

After many hours on CAD software and later in the machine shop, the prototype was born.

Later, Che Voigt and Matt Vollottondid the final detailing, including the cool W top finial, and this is the final result. I'm very proud to make this the first Andy Graham Design portfolio item.

The Whamola is available at Pachyderm Instruments
