Re: Transducers and Sustainiac (On vibraphone?!?!)

["Christian Leduc" <chleduc@total.net>]

About infinite tambura: I thought something similar (another instrument 
than
guitar): Infinite vibraphone!!! But  I don't have the money to make a
prototype.. :) and it would take a damn powerful magnet to work... I 
thought
of it when I heard Reich's Desert Music with the use of bowed vibraphones
(incredible sound)..

About the Hoover's comment, it is fun to see that my question made such a
big and interesting answer... After, Chad (Ossman) put it on the web site..
It gave to us a better idea of what Brook did (historical and technological
context)..
