“Yuru” Musical Instruments
Each of us has different reasons for wanting to play a musical instrument. So how can we remove the obstacles for playing an instrument, to make it accessible to everyone—from children to beginners to those with disabilities? Sony Creative Center and Sony Music Entertainment have worked together to develop “Yuru” musical instruments (“Yuru” in Japanese meaning free, generous, flexible, and approachable, amongst a range of other nuanced meanings) that are accessible to all. The results of this collaboration include the Ultra Light Sax, which you play just by humming, and Hug Drum, a percussion instrument that anyone can play.
