Abstract

This chapter explains the decisions we made concerning the scope and presents our proposition that consists of a concept, a method, and a toolkit. We discuss the hypothesis of “instrumental inheritance,” the related concepts found in literature, and we speculate its application in the context of the popularization of musical instruments. We explain the idea generation method called morphological analysis and apply it to the context of musical instruments. Further, we display the development process of the experimentation toolkit for DMI functional prototyping.
