it's funny, you'd normally find feathers on a shuttle cock.

apparently it tickles after penetration...

theres no real need for it to look so much like a dildo, add some fins or something for decencys sake!!!

and someone wanted the modular stuff elsewhere, look what a hurdy gurdy just did to the thread!

Yeah, sorry, I got nothing. Some cool other stuff though. Time well spent.

In the realm of crazy electro-acoustic stuff, I still want an Araya Piezothing.

I should have grabbed one while Patch Point still had them in stock, but foolishly I put it on my Christmas list instead, and now they're all gone. I suppose I can wait for version 3 though. Can't wait to put it on frame drums, HAPI drum, guitars, crash cymbals, etc.

Woah, that laser-cut hurdy-gurdy is something. I built a mechanical clock like that. Doesn't work too well but it was a fun build.
I'm interested in getting into more woodworking. I just don't have much of a flare for visual aesthetics, so everything I build looks very rough/utilitarian.
I've been having a lot of fun with electro-mechanical stuff lately. I made an electric Kalimba a few years back and I love that thing. Just a piezo inside the body, with a 1/4" jack mounted to the bottom. It's lovely to play through the Phonogene or Morphagene. I also do a lot of re-amping through small speakers, with like springs and washers on the driver. I do that kind of thing with a Remo Thunderdrum too, similar to this one: https://remo.com/products/product/sprin ... SP-0505-17
It's fun to do a makeshift spring reverb with that. I also have a water phone that I got on Etsy, which makes some incredible sounds and there are so many ways to interact with it.

The Field Kit is a great tool for these kinds of experiments. It works well with piezos, it has an envelope follower, it can drive a small speaker and a small motor or solenoid. It has lots of possibilities for feedback routing. It's not exactly hifi but when I'm just looking for inspiration, I often start with the Field Kit and my Zoom H5.

I still look somewhat longingly at the Field Kit and Field Kit Fx, but then realize in that 'oh, yeah' kinda way, that I have essentially built that (and then some) with my eurorack setup. Granted, at three times the price, but still... then there's this desk top stuff @400 euro's :

I got given a similar clock kit a few weeks ago. Not built it yet.

Yeah, Ive been accumulating a pile of hardware bits to build some 'acoustic' stuff from. Basically will really just be a bunch of boxes with springs and kalimba keys and stuff bolted on, but what the hell

There is something about approaching any old object as a sound source/modifier, that really appeals to me. I'll just walk around the neighborhood or dig through my garage looking for stuff that could have interesting sonic properties. It's not the same as going shopping at Perfect Circuit or Analog Haven but it's still rewarding when I find something cool. I'm having a bunch of fun with an old metal shelf from the fridge in my garage. Metal blinds are also a hoot.
