Reminds me about my neighbor who designed and then sold a batch of portable modular synths:

amazing work and so cool that that sort of thing is possible from a solopreneur these days.

I’m not knowledgeable about synths and such (I wish I had more time to learn music, though), but I always look at this stuff because the devices are aesthetically beautiful — pluto as well. It’s probably almost a shoo-in that if you focused on aesthetics you could sell out a small batch of modular synths with the most basic beep / boop making capabilities.

The market is quite saturated for those. You'd have to make something pretty and doing something more than basic.
