Introducing the
Glissopipe
Simple. Playful. Yours.
The Glissopipe is an innovative acoustic musical instrument similar to a recorder. It opens up an entirely new world of playing and experiencing music.
Easy to start
The Glissopipe was born from a simple yet bold idea: what if playing a wind instrument could be as natural as singing? Its creators set out to remove the barriers of traditional tone holes.
Intuitive
The Glissopipe is for families, children, music schools, and anyone who wants to discover the joy of making sounds in a simple, intuitive way. It's an instrument that turns music into a fascinating journey of discovery. Be part of this journey with us!
Free the tone
Free yourself
Without predefined fixed tones, it is intuitive, liberating, and deeply inspiring – every tone becomes a discovery, every melody a small adventure. It brings joy to playing, sharpens listening, and trains intonation in a natural way. For some, it opens the door to their very first notes; for others, it unlocks a new dimension of creativity and expression – beyond the limits of conventional scales. Just pick up the Glissopipe, touch the magnetic strip, and let the adventure begin.

The story
of the Glissopipe
The Glissopipe was created in Hungary by saxophonist, composer, and inventor Dániel Váczi, together with his team. Váczi graduated in biology and studied jazz saxophone, and performs in numerous musical projects ranging from jazz and world music to contemporary classical music.
The Glissopipe is a member of the Glissonic family of musical instruments. The main innovation is that it uses a longitudinal slot on the instrument's tube instead of tone holes. The two sides of the slot are covered with a magnetic foil that attracts a magnetized ribbon on top. The glissonic system can be used on various wind instruments: flute, recorder, clarinet, saxophone, tarogato, oboe, etc., and even the cornet. The first member of the Glissonic family is the Glissotar, which has been successfully on the market since 2024.
