Comments by designer of the Electronic Muting system, Dave Bunker

As many people in the tap/touch world know I've dedicated my life to discovering how to make Touch Play easier and better. On my first patents of the early sixty's I used the manual "felt or other object a few inches up from the nut" to mute the strings.This worked, somewhat but always left lot's of unwanted noise and muddy notes. The Electronic mute eliminates all unwanted sounds such as hums, finger noise, slidding sounds. In coming weeks I will add much more to this content regarding the benefits that My Bunker Touch Guitar buyers and post some of there dynamic new music and sounds not only on my site but on Tappistry.org

OUR 9-11, NEW YORK EXPERIENCE Ive had so many inquiries from our friends and customers who knew we were in New York September 11th, 12th and 13th during these difficult times that I thought we should relate to you our experience. Myself, My Daughter Teresa and her Husband John left Seattle on a red eye flight which left Seattle at 10:00 pm on September 10th and arrived in Newark at 8:05am just minutes after United flight #93 took off to it's tragic end in a Pennsylvania field. When traveling from baggage to the Car rental area on the tram we admired the beautiful world trade center buildings not knowing that within minutes what would happen. On driving out of the rental lot we were told by the attendant that one of the towers had been hit by an airplane. As we left the airport we looked in absolute disbelief at the burning # 1 tower. The next time we could see the towers we saw a plume of smoke and fire rise from # 2 tower. I'm really glad I didn't see the plane hit the building I think it would have been just too much. When we reached our hotel which overlooked the Manhattan sky line it was a very tragic and sad view. People we talked to were just numb in disbelief, many actually openly crying. Soon when the first tower crumbled manhattan was obscured with dust and smoke, no longer visible across the water. Teresa and John had planned to be at the World trade center in Manhattan that fateful morning but thanks to a mistake on our original tickets and a change of airlines they didn't make it."Thank God" We were unable to get out on Tuesday because of closed roads but on the morning of the 12th we started our drive back across America with lots of time to contemplate the horrible tragedy that had just hit our wonderful country. God Bless America and it's wonderfully strong people who will bounce back and God have mercy on those who did this and to those who would use this to benefit themselves. And Thanks to our wonderful military troups doing such a great job and sacrifice to protect America.

Exciting new Touch/Tap technology,with midi ,which can easiliy be installed in any touch type instrument. This new technology eliminates any need for manual muting and set's the db level at over 120db down, while at the same time increases the high's and low's of your instrument by over 40%. Totally off at all times until you either "Touch it" or "Pick it".

Separate volume control for each string "twice"

Four separate Modes: Fret only"very dynamic", Six Sense"open and fret sense", Vox "threshold sense" and Garbage"everything on like a normal guitar". Full 3-Band EQ, for each pickup.

Stacked pots, Volume/Pan.and so much more you must go to;

The most advanced midi trigger ever. "no unwanted sounds"
