Slinky spring reverb

The electronic peasant has an interesting project, prime for audio investigators –

There are a number of different ways to send vibrations travelling down a spring, but most spring reverbs use torsional (rotational) motion, which is less sensitive to interference from external vibrations.

Not the simplest fun you could have with a slinky, but definitely looks worth a try. – Slinky Spring Reverb
