Status: V5 explorer-readiness scaffold; not a V5 build-packet candidate until
Design a slip-cast ceramic, handpan-inspired tonal vessel that explores raised/isolated ceramic tone fields on a shallow resonant shell. The project is a research instrument first: the goal is to learn whether molded ceramic tone fields can produce musically useful fundamentals and partials after firing, and what clay body, wall thickness, tone-field geometry, and firing schedule make that repeatable.
Live interactive acoustic model (Wolfram Cloud, Public-Execute). Drag the sliders; every value is computed from estimate placeholders — pending measurement, not fabrication authority.
