The CH‑8 Gisela is a charming singing wooden figure from Teenage Engineering’s imaginative CH‑8 choir series, embodying a German mezzo soprano voice with warm, expressive tones. Made from solid beech wood, each Gisela features a unique grain pattern that makes every piece truly one‑of‑a‑kind. Inside its hand‑crafted body sits an integrated speaker module that can perform pre‑composed choral music or be played via MIDI for custom musical expression. With generous dimensions of about 120 × 120 × 230 mm and a weight of over 1 kg, the figure feels substantial yet sculptural. Gisela offers around 3–4 hours of continuous singing on its rechargeable power, making it a delightful performer for hours of creative play or ambient sound. Through Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI, it can harmonize with up to 15 other CH‑8 choir members, producing rich ensemble textures. It pairs seamlessly with devices like the OP‑1 Field, OP‑Z, or any BLE‑capable MIDI keyboard for expressive control over your performances. Gisela can sing solo or as part of a choral group, adding depth and personality to any setup. Her mezzo soprano range gives her a balanced, versatile voice that blends beautifully with other choir dolls. Whether displayed on a shelf or used in music creation, the CH‑8 Gisela combines artistic design with interactive sound in a delightful and innovative way.
