rw,
wrong guy;
jmp was talking about one of my instruments:
a cheap student-model folk-guitar (yard sale variety), re-strung w/fairly 
heavy 'steel' strings, w/a secondary koto-like bridge placed on the neck:
played on the lap:
further alterable w/pickups, of course:
paper clips (stainless steel ones) on either or both sides of sec. bridge 
make a nice rattle, depending upon tuning/pitch/pickups etc.....
enjoy.
best,
dt / SPLaTTeRCeLL

btw: the first time i used this gtr onna recording was inna piece called 
'snapping the hollow reed' from 'cloud about mercury', ECM 1987, for yer 
possible further reference.
