Hi there ART folks!

I'm trying to sort out a new bit of kit for my next tour later this year. I'm attempting to attach a large metal string to my drum kit that I can bow (with a cello and/or bass bow) and I need to be able to amplify it naturally.

I was thinking of wedging a large sheet of metal between the end of the string and the stand on which I would be suspending the string, but that hasn't worked so well thus far. I want to get a sort of metallic cello sound or bowed saw sound out of it and I can almost get that, but not without the correct resonator.

Any thoughts? It can't be too big because I have to be able to take it on a plane and carry it with the rest of my equipment by myself (no roadies this time!) In addition, it would be great if it broke down somehow to fit better into my cases, but that is less of a concern. The sound quality is the most important thing and if anyone can suggest something I can call ahead and make my promoters request the venues get for me, even better!

Thanks in advance!
