.....................I believe Ellen's instruments are a simple 
combination of 
strings and soundboard installation, an 80-foot deconstructed piano played 
with 
rosened fingers.  She may have had contact mics on the soundboard to 
balance 
with other electronic sources.  No springs I know of...I believe you can 
reach 
her through the Deep Listening website, if you're still curious.
