Jamboxx musical device is a hands free, breath controlled music device designed for people with quadriplegia. It resembles a common harmonica in that the user slides a mouthpiece along its horizontal axis to change the pitch of the instrument. The device connects to a personal computer via a mini USB to USB cable to interface with software that provides visual feedback for playing notes and sends the information to the computer speakers.
