Tennis Racketar

This is a demonstration of a tennis racket guitar prototype, It uses a piezo mic embedded in a wooden holder directly beneath the bridge to pick up the vibrations of the string.

I'm still working on something to use for frets, the 'neck' isn't in the slightest bit flat which doesn't help at all...

There's more info and pics aswell as all my other instruments over at my blog http://vulpestruments.blogspot.com

I have an old racket that's missing all the wire,but I was thinking of doing somthing close to this,but maybe,putting some wood where the wires were,for a bit of a resonating tone,I'd love to know a bit more abot what you did,as you get some good sounds out of this!

@NuclearLullaby This was a very simple construction, I simply bolted the wooden frame to the strings and placed a cheap piezo transducer underneath the bridge that went to a socket. I think the sound from this comes from a combination of using banjo strings and having the nylon tennis racket strings adding a bit of resonance.

Good luck with your own build, if you've got any questions feel free to ask!
