The strings vibrate at frequencies 17 octaves higher than those of a real guitar, or about 130,000 times higher.


COOL! I have to get one of these for my home studio.

Moved to the 'Music' section of the Forum.

Is this instrument acoustic or electric? Seems that it has to be amplified to hear it, anyway...
