Howdy, You might want to try epoxying th string to the center of a small, decent quality speaker. with the proper tension on the string,the speaker could generate some kool signals. notethat I have never tried this, but always used rat-shack peizos. mabe epoxying the string to the center of the peizo. So many possiblilities. i have used the rat shack 273-064 for everything from pianos, harps, fiddles, mandolins, to tower bracing cables, industrial machine surfaces, engine blocks,heads etc. Probably the best was when I took 2 homemade celtic harps out front during a windy day, put a peizo on the bass and treble end of each soundboard and 4 tracked it all while the wind was blowing through the strings. I have 16 22 minute cassettes of this to stack up on multitrack to make a VERY ethereal piece of muzik. It ought to be very mesmerizing if I ever get around to finishing the project.
