Tonerite for Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Mandolin and Guitar.
For centuries, well-versed musicians and luthiers have acknowledged the importance of playing instruments regularly to achieve and maintain their optimum sound. However, when accomplished musician and engineer Agapitus (Augi) Lye purchased a new cello, he lacked the time necessary to adequately play-in the instrument.
Utilizing his knowledge of acoustical physics and leaning on his engineering background, Augi worked to develop a tool which would virtually eliminate the years of play required for his instrument’s tone to mature. Surprised by the tonal improvements that had occurred in such a short time, fellow musicians and professionals urged Augi to continue his research and it was from his exploration that the first rudimentary version of the ToneRite was born.
Through their ambitious studies of acoustical physics, practiced musicians and experienced engineers Ryan Frankel, Hans Yeakel and Augi together formed ToneRite. Uniting tradition with technology, ToneRite has collaborated with luthiers and musicians from around the world to conduct meticulous research of the play-in process. This dedication to their field’s advancement has brought the ToneRite play-in device to fruition. Read more about it at www.tonerite.com
I was skeptical about the effectiveness of the tonerite. To test, we put the prototype double bass tonerite on one of our newly made instruments. To quantify the results we recorded the instrument before and after. We set exact distances and levels playing open strings and a short excerpt. 72 hours later we repeated the recording and the audio differences were very noticeable. Also the bass had lost that "new bass" tightness and was vibrating freely. All the basses in our display room get the treatment now. Peter McLachlan
ToneRite runs on 110v and needs an Australian approved stepdown transformer available at the bottom of this page.

Tonerite for Violin 2G Special 30% off RRP $302.50 In Stock
One of the secrets of great tone is continually playing-in your instrument. The ToneRite® is the world's most advanced and premier play-in device. Utilizing the same physics as you playing your instrument, the ToneRite® can significantly accelerate the play-in process and provide you with increased tone, playability and balance. The ToneRite® makes all of this available in a nearly silent, high quality, and portable manner. The secret behind the ToneRite® is its ability to continually produce and efficiently transfer vibrational energy into an instrument, safely recreating and magnifying the physics that occur naturally while playing. This stimulation produces a change to the integrated components within an instrument and increases their ability to resonate together as a whole. The result is added volume and instruments that are easier to play with a sound that is more full and balanced. Not only will your instrument sound better but the notes themselves will come easier, allowing you to play more difficult passages with less fatigue.

Tonerite for Viola 2G Special 30% off RRP $335.50 In Stock
"I'll say I think it's great! I used it on my Gemunder(1884) and my Denis Cormier(2002). It made both instruments sound their very best no matter what climate or humidity my tours brought me to. The more I used it the better they got...not just a little bit, but creates a definite, noticeable, positive audible difference."

Tonerite for Double Bass 2G Special 30% off RRP $368.50 In Stock
"The ToneRite is brilliant! The change is way more evident than I had imagined it would be. My bass is open and free, with considerably more low-end. As a full-time composer, I rarely get to play as much as I like to. This device keeps the bass in the sort of shape it would be in if I was on it for hours a day, and it's far more ready-to-go when I need it for recording."

Tonerite for Mandolin 2G Special 30% off RRP $233.20 In Stock
"When I received the ToneRite, I placed it on one of my mandolins that has not been played for quite a while. I set it on high and left it on for 72 hours. The mandolin was so much more open sounding and acquired a much more woody tone. The volume increased noticeably. I would highly recommend the ToneRite to anyone wishing to speed up the opening up process or to keep the mandolin warmed up. Thanks for such a great product."
