String Thing MP3?

I was quite intrigued by and very much looking forward to hearing the string thing (Make 04), but neither makezine.com nor the String Thing creator's website have a recording of the instrument! The article instructed readers to come to makezine.com to hear it in action... I'm waiting eagerly. :)

Hi -
Sorry for the confusion -- there is a video (with sound) of String Thing on the creator's site; we also added a link above directly to the Windows Media file at http://people.interaction-ivrea.it/b.dove/video/string_thing.wmv.

Thanks for your post!

Sorry, we had two links up. I've taken down the incorrect one. The one that remains is correct.

Thanks for pointing it out!
