Strike a pose!

Photographing and testing the family before my decision to keep them acoustic.

The bodies reverberate the sound beautifully and amplify them naturally.

CHANGE OF PLAN

After spending lots of time and money on making contact microphones for each of the wheel instruments to make them electric i have decided that this is not what i want them to sound like..

Visually they are lovely! with their wires intertwining each other and an old amp to amplify their individual sounds but there is just something not right about them. 

My decision to keep them as acoustic instruments for the degree show will remain and i am happy with this decision. At least i know that they can be amped up!

Development!
