Some new trials and gadgets* 3 string DAD* 4 bass harp strings* resonating bone bridge (the pic shows the open hinge cover)* 9 inner resonating strings in the neck (which don't do what they should)* Flatpup 3 pickup: shiftable on rails between neck & bridge* Flatpup 5 pickup for bass strings: attachable by magnet guiders on two rails (hot/gnd). It can be placed anywhere below the strings or even be removed* the tail piece strings can be wahwahd by a leverwww.original-flatpup.comRead more…
thanks, I wanted to get a Sitar sound and put into practice some ideas, although I'm not enthusiastic. I wait for my buddy Chris to test fly it.
The inner resonating strings are a total fail. They are embedded into the neck which is made of a U-bent steel girder - this design is too rigid. Their bridge should better be placed onto a top which vibrates stronger. The sitar-style bridge of the 3 upper strings works fine, the bass strings as well.
Hallo Elmar. Still surpassing yourself again and again. Reminds of Pat Metheny's Guitar/Harp/Whatever-Instrument. Were the drone strings on the inside inspired by the hardanger fiddle?
