@Mrsbruitage Funny you mention it, I am actually making another for a foley artist. I recently got a new camera with a low enough resolution that I can edit the film easily on my slow computer. I lost the footage of building the first one, but I plan on filming the process of the second and posting it. I discovered I am crappy at drawing useful/legible plans, so I don't see that ever happening. Till then, buy a cheap tambourine, and enough lumber make a 1'x1'x2' box out of 3/8" or 1/2" plywood.
hey, listen, im studing art in spain, and im so interested to get the plains about the machine, i want to made it for a work, please, if you can, make a video showing how we can build the noise machine exactly
@criticalotodo I am glad to hear that you want to make one. I tried to create such a video when I made the first one. However, since I recorded it on an old mini dv camcorder, did not have enough hard drive space to edit the video on, and the external hard drive I was borrowing which I transferred all the footage too was taken back by it's owner (my dad), I don't have this footage anymore.
@jonnda ...I have been commissioned to make a lighter collapsible travel version which should be finished sometime late december at the latest. The main difference is that the owner can take the box apart and travel with while it's a stack of parts. If you know any thing about making a box, then feel free to use your own construction techniques. That part does not matter. I will try to find a different method of recording the process, and post it as soon as I can.
@jonnda Also, as I did not work from plans and improvised as I went, making clear plans from the original has been difficult for me. I am like one of those cooks that does not use a recipe, but instead assembles a dish by intuition and approximation. I made this instrument after looking at many pictures and listening to sounds of the original, and then making estimated guesses on it's construction along the way.
Hey I'm quite impressed by your intonarumori. Having played on a replica it sounds very authentic. I've returned to one I started making five years ago and have nearly finished. I'm about to attach the string to the lever using a guitar machine head. This lever isn't meant to tighten the string but to move a bridge slider along the string. But then yours isn't meant to be an exact copy.
pictures of my intonarumori are on my Blog spot martyn-simpson.blogspot.com
@msimmo4 Thanks for your comment. I tried to copy the simplest design, which also had the most graphic documentation. What I discovered in my two weeks of internet research was that the intonarumori family was incredibly diverse. The more complex the design, the less information there was regarding it's construction. In short I realized that some intonarumori had a sliding "bridge", and some worked like mine does. Others had both, and some of those controlled tension and slider independently.
@jonnda P.S. to anyone who did not read the "show more" video information.v I cannot claim to be an expert, nor do I claim that the information I gathered and subsequently interpreted during my short online research was perfectly accurate. As you may have noticed, my mission was not historical accuracy but to quickly and cheaply build a working instrument that could justifiably be classified as a member of the intonarumori family. I succeeded in doing so with $40 and about 2 weeks of work.
@williestratton I marked the center of the membrane/drum-head, &cut a nickle sized disk of aluminum that was approximately the thickness of cereal box cardboard. I then drilled or punched small hole in aluminum, applied glue to a side of the Al, lined up the hole in the aluminum disk with the mark on the membrane, &stuck them together. When glue dried I punched a hole in membrane. Guitar string can pass through hole,but be stopped by the ball end/knot which rests on the Al & spreads the stress.
@williestratton Figuring out a way to attach the string to the pitch lever was what drove me mad. No one on the internet seems willing to take a good picture of how they did it, & there are no available documents that explain the action of the lever on the string other then it changes the pitch. 4 all I know, the string could have been attached to a cam, had a direct connection to the lever &changed the string length and location as the pitch went up, or attached to a wheel like mine is.
Thanks man...Waiting for news and I'll try something.Keep you in touch.

Hello everybody,
I'm also really interested to have the plans to build this instrument.it 's still possible?Thank you and great job.
I'm a foley artist,love your experimentations...;)

@msimmo4 Please feel free to post a video of your own intonarumori as a response to this video. ^_^

how did you attach the string to the membrane?
