In December 2024, Alexandre Martel acquired the business assets and patents for the Quartzophone\u00ae musical and therapeutic crystal instruments.<\/p>

The inventor, Gaudry Normand, then passed on to him his secrets for crafting crystal harps and lyres with the most divine sounds.<\/p>

Alexandre thus has the honor of continuing the mission of the Quartzophone instrument inventor: to manufacture and sell the highest quality quartz crystal instruments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For over two years, Alexandre Martel had been searching for a small-scale production business in an entirely different field\u2014something unique. But fate redirected his attention to Quartzophone\u00ae instruments.<\/p>

As a mechanical designer, Alexandre improves and develops mechanical systems. He was immediately captivated by the ingenuity and quality of these quartz crystal instruments and quickly understood what gives them their unique sound and resonance. What\u2019s more, this market attracts truly wonderful people. It was an instant entrepreneurial spark.\u00a0At the end of 2024, Alexandre acquired the rights to the Quartzophone\u00ae trademark to proudly carry on the legacy of Gaudry Normand.<\/p>

Guided by deep gratitude, he continues the artisanal crafting of these extraordinary musical and therapeutic crystal instruments with love, great care, and precision\u2014just as the charismatic inventor of the Quartzophone\u00ae taught him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Quartzophone\u00ae crystal harp is the result of 12 years of research and development. This marvel is the creation of Quebec inventor Gaudry Normand. Over time, other models were born as well\u2014lyre, solo, and duo. Gaudry also occasionally receives special requests: a musician wants to add more tubes; art lovers ask for tubes plated in gold or titanium. And he makes their wishes come true!<\/p>

He handcrafts the Quartzophone\u00ae instruments with passion, finesse, and precision. They are one-of-a-kind in the world, as their mechanism, design, and mallets are patented. His instruments are sold in several countries.<\/p>

Gaudry and his wife Pauline are also known as the owners of Mine Cristal, yoga and meditation teachers, Ayurvedic practitioners, and musicians (Pauline is trained in classical piano). Drawing from this rich life experience, Gaudry created musical instruments whose crystalline vibrations uplift the soul.<\/p>

Upon retiring, he passed the torch of the Quartzophone instruments to Alexandre Martel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
