Teenage Engineering Choir Bluetooth Wooden Dolls

Description

Product Overview

The Choir collection from Teenage Engineering brings together traditional craftsmanship and modern music technology. Each of the eight dolls is carved from solid beech, giving a warm acoustic resonance and a tactile, premium feel. Inside the speaker module lies a lithium‑ion battery, a vibration sensor, and a Bluetooth‑enabled MIDI interface, allowing the dolls to perform a pre‑programmed repertoire of choral classics as well as any user‑generated composition. Dimensions are 12.01 x 5.91 x 5.91 inches and the set weighs 3.4 pounds, making it portable for studio, classroom, or home use.

Usage

Designed for musicians, educators, and creative families, the Choir dolls can be placed on a desk, shelf, or stage. Gently tap a doll to trigger a phrase, or move the entire ensemble to activate the motion sensor for a dynamic performance. Connect the set to an OP‑1 Field, OP‑Z, any Bluetooth‑capable MIDI keyboard, or an Ortho remote to conduct the choir in real time. Ideal for music lessons, composition workshops, interactive installations, and casual home jam sessions.
