An enormity of musical spiderwebs. The instrument has been Developed by
Ellen Fullman over the past twenty years or so. As she puts it in the liner notes of her album "Change of Direction" -
"The current
instrument has about 100 strings, suspended at waist height for 90 feet. It is played by three people who bow the strings with
rosin-coated fingertips, while walking. A C-clamp on each wire is used for tuning, changing the string length much like a
capo on a
guitar. The instrument is tuned for just
intonation, a natural tuning system."
