likewise! chiens could be an interesting application for some synergetics, maybe we can try making some together at some point

@@BarnabyWalters looking at them after this video already points at some of their synergetic properties, for instance that they are playing attension... I would love to try exploring around that with you some time

I have also heard of these (or at least, the strings that run through them) referred to as "Trompettes"

@BarnabyWalters 4 ай бұрын

yep, “trompette” refers to the string, “chien” to the bridge itself

awesome Video. do yo have anything on Capos?

@BarnabyWalters Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Not yet, although I might make a video to adjusting capos well at some point. It’s much simpler than making chiens, but there are still some tricky details involved

I wonder if a 3d printed version would sound good aswell. The plastic might make a different sound tho.

@BarnabyWalters Жыл бұрын

I think the newer versions of the nerdy gurdy use 3D printed chiens and they seem to work well. I definitely want to do some experiments with 3D printing chiens, mostly for quickly testing different shapes and proportions.

@@BarnabyWalters I bet you could have a lot more precise control over how it's structured and even make hollow ones. There's lots of exploration to do there. I'm looking forward to seeing what people will come up with in the future.
