This is a work in progress…
Here we have the .080″ twisted piano wire instrument samples taken down a few octaves. Here’s a picture of part of the instrument. 
It’s made of .080″ piano wire (very thick tempered steel wire), which is bent with a pair of plyers and a blow torch into interesting shapes. The wires are then brazed onto a steel plate, and magnetic transducers are attached to pick up the vibrations. Csound is used to drop the sample by 1, 2, or three octaves.
