In the dim, dark ages at the turn of the century, my esteemed friend, Robin Whittle, felt compelled to create a 20 metre long slinky with transducers.
This was not my first contact with the slinkyverb though. I'm pretty sure that was when I saw Moniek Darges and Godfried-Willem Raes and Moniek Darge I think she was hitting it with a stick and maybe also bowing it. It sounded pretty fine.
Today, I stumbled on this article about building a reverb with a slinky and it has kindled a desire to get some low-fi, low frequency reverb happening in my life.
I'll not get around to this for a few weeks, but thought I'd signal my intent and give fair warning etc.

You definitely want his "Handmade Electronic Music" book. It's a cookbook of all sorts of electronic music devices and such that are easily homebrew-able from junk you might have lying about.

I will also keep an eye out for telescopic antenna from an old radio or TV. I'm imagining the slinky in collapsed form for travel, then you simply set up and plug in, then extend the antenna to stretch the slinky out ready to perform.

Just putting this here for future reference. I love this person's idea of using electric motors as rotational transducers - also the batshit-crazy stereo design. Apparently, a twisting motion to drive and pick up the spring is least prone to other interference.
