One Platform. Two Instruments.

Both the Constance Guitar and Constance Bass share the same design philosophy. They combine modern headless construction, carefully considered ergonomics and a visual language that remains familiar while embracing innovation. Each instrument is developed as a complete system rather than a collection of individual features.

A Clear Vision Instead Of Endless Options.

Every Henrix instrument is based on a carefully developed platform refined through experience, testing and continuous improvement. Rather than offering unlimited customization, the focus is on creating instruments with a clear identity. Selected adjustments are available where they genuinely benefit the player, while the core concept remains true to the qualities that define the instrument.

Designed for comfort and balance.

One instrument conceived as a coherent, holistic concept.

Made with expertise and precision.

Every Detail Has A Purpose.

Comfort Without Compromise.

Designed to feel balanced, lightweight and effortless, the Constance encourages long playing sessions without fatigue.

Stability You Can Rely On.

The headless construction improves balance, eliminates neck dive and contributes to excellent tuning stability, whether on stage, in the studio or at home.

Natural Ergonomics.

The multiscale design helps maintain balanced string tension while supporting a comfortable and intuitive playing position across the entire fretboard.

Consistency In Every Note.

The zero fret ensures that open strings share the same tonal characteristics and feel as fretted notes, creating a more consistent playing experience.

Unrestricted Access.

The extended neck joint and carefully sculpted body contours provide comfortable access to every fret, allowing the player to move freely across the entire neck.

Precision In Every Detail.

From Riviera hardware to the custom-machined Henrix headpiece, every component is selected or designed to contribute to the instrument’s functionality, reliability and visual harmony.

Built Without Rush.

Some aspects of building an instrument can be accelerated. Others shouldn’t be. From wood preparation and machining to finishing, assembly and final setup, many steps require time to properly settle before the next can begin. For this reason, the typical build time is approximately 8-10 months, depending on specifications and current workload. The goal is not to build instruments as quickly as possible, but to build them as carefully as necessary.

The Story Behind Henrix.

Details With Meaning.

The geometric shapes used throughout Henrix instruments originate from the company logo and form part of the brand’s visual identity. One example can be found in the custom headpiece. The engraved polygon reflects the number of strings of the instrument itself.

  • A five-string bass features a pentagon.
  • A six-string instrument features a hexagon.
  • A seven-string guitar features a heptagon.

These details are subtle, but they help create a visual language that connects every instrument to my philosophy.
