Thank you all! 
@Fedor, those are real clarinets – we cheated (I didn’t meant to mislead anyone, but that would be some pretty impressive physical modeling synthesis…) That’s the only track on this volume with other instruments, though. There are a few other moments on the third track, that kept reminding me of reed organs or flutes while I was mixing it, but everything else is guitar- or synth-generated.
@jasonw22, I feel for you and your family. These things happen so quickly and change so much. I run out of words too when I try to talk about it — probably why my words are mostly about the gear & process. I tend to retreat into fantasy technical sound land, something I’m very wary of, and this project is partly an effort to turn that around into something more positive (“useful”?) and relevant.
We haven’t really taken any photos of the setup yet, and the guitar itself doesn’t look like much because the transducers are mounted inside it; it just looks like an acoustic guitar with a pickup and two endpin jacks where there’d normally be one (out from the pickup, and in to the transducers). There’s this video, though:
(I’m the one ruining my back, lol – I’ve worked out a more ergonomic setup for the living room since then…)
