The art of DIY Musical Instruments must be revived!! This idea started with the salad bowl (refer to Studio Snapshot on Jan 27). We added strings, tuning pegs and an electric fan case for extra rattle.
The strings pass through the electric fan casing and resonate it, making the little white spokes rattle and shimmy. Moving the white electric fan casing bends the pitch of the strings. The strings are fastened to the salad bowl, so all the sounds resonate together resulting in a wonderfully rich twang with lots of glimmering high end. Everything under 250Hz has gets cut out in the mix.
