Instrument-a-day maker Ranjit demonstrates a fresh idea for bending with his Bent Music Box

A strong magnet distorts the sound of a music box by warping the tines. It’s recorded through a hand-wound magnetic pickup, and it sounds like this. (There’s no processing added to the sound except for noise reduction.)

Hmmm รขโ‚ฌยฆ using magnets to control acoustic instrumentation is looking more and more interesting these days. We’ve seen a piano, I’m thinking the thumb piano might be in need of electromagnet enhancement รขโ‚ฌยฆ
