Long Wire - What? from Robert Charles Mann on Vimeo.
The string length is 9 foot 5 inches (286.5cm) with a 0.9mm diameter piano wire stretched across a brass nut on one end and a Graphtech piezo bridge on the other. Piano pins at both ends. The beam is a 300 year old piece of oak that I restored. It will be a great addition to my palette of cinematic sounds for years to come. The wire is currently tuned to A, four octaves below middle C (27.5Hz).
