HOW TO PLAY YOUR WOOD SOUNDWAVE ART

Hi, I'm Mike, the creator of Soundwave Art, with a quick overview of how to scan your playable wood Soundwave Art. The location of the NFC reader varies depending on your phone. Before scanning, unlock your phone, make sure the screen is on, and remember that the phone needs to touch the wood at the correct tap point. When looking at the front of the artwork, the embedded NFC chip is near the upper-right corner. On the back, you'll see a small rectangle in the wood marking the tap point. Its appearance may vary slightly depending on the wood color. Walnut and maple blocks should be scanned by placing your phone directly against this rectangular area on the back. Basswood live-edge signs can sometimes be scanned through the front near the upper-right corner, but the visible location on the back is the intended and most reliable tap point. If you're using an iPhone, place the upper back or top edge of the phone directly against the tap point on the back of the wood. Begin with the top-left corner of the phone and hold it still for a second or two. If no notification appears, keep the phone touching the wood and slowly slide its top edge toward the right until you locate the reader. When the notification appears, tap it to open and play your recording. On Android phones, the NFC reader may be near the center or upper portion of the back. Keep the phone touching the wood and slowly move it across the tap point until the notification appears. If the artwork doesn't scan, remove your phone case and try again. Android users should also make sure NFC is turned on in their phone's settings. Once you locate your phone's NFC reader, your wood Soundwave Art should scan quickly and consistently.
