I love your design! I have made a prototype, but yours is a master work. Can you tell me about that cool 10 string bridge? Where did you get that, and I assume the width of strings it produces is a standard humbucker pickup? Also how much affect does your wind hood add?
All you can see here is made by me from the scratch. Except the strings and the humbucker and microtuners from violin. The pickup is a guitar humbucker so I had to fit the strings to it’s width. The hood helps during the light wind but the harp works well without it when it’s really windy
Subscribed. Your wind harp builds are really incredible, such amazing tones. I want to build one myself -- do you find that standard guitar and bass strings work alright? Or do you recommend zither strings or similar? I saw your piano wire video as well, but curious what you've had the best results with. Cheers.
Thank you. As far guitar and bass strings work fine or I haven't found better ones. Piano wire is ok but the signal is not so strong. Any kind of string made of magnetic metal will work. Cheers
Thank you but please read the description. Aeolian harps are played by the wind not the human. Watch whole video to hear how wind induce harmonics and strings.
What an amazing instrument 🔥
SUBSCRIBED BRO. FREAKIN AWESOME CONCEPT!! I DIG IT. THANKYOU FOR SHARING!🤍
Thanks man! I really appreciate your feedback
Piezo pickup would be great on this one)
I used piezo but it did not work good for me. I must learn how to use it. There were more mechanical sounds than pure signal from the strings
Kosmiczne brzmienia
Amazing video and amazing craftsmanship.
Do you know if this would work with a common lapsteel ?
Sure but fret markers would be helpful
And yes, every stringed instrument will work as aeolian harp
Yes I’ve tried it
Love it! Are you selling these? Can I sample this?
Hi, yes I build and sell them. What kind of sample you mean?
far freaking out

@@MikuCigarBoxGuitar It's very beautiful with the inlays and the small details. Nice craftsmanship. That bridge is really neat. And it sounds great!
Thank you Sir

Sublime! Are these zither strings? Im going to set out to make one of these myself and would love to know.
These are electric guitar strings. I used them because of their lenght
Is it possible to play this like a steel guitar? Maybe have it in an open tuning that can be fretted as the wind vibrates the strings
Sure but it can be tricky 'cause there are no fret markers. But you can tune it as you want
What kind of strings did you use?
Electric guitar strings. E, D, B and high E
'PromoSM' 😀
?
Would have been nice if you'd actually played something... beautiful looking instrument though.

@MikuCigarBoxGuitar Lol, right?! I think the intricate engraving under the strings showing 'breath' escaping an athereal being kinda says it all.🤔💨
