A Little Canon

Inspired by Cris Foster's book Musical Mathematics I built a little canon today. It was built very cheaply. A wine box from Chile, 3/4" aluminum angle stock, $1 piece of hard wood, 9 zither pins @ $ 0.28 each from Experimental Musical Instruments, 9 electric guitar strings - all low E 0.046 dia. and a $2 (or less?) bag of 1" angle brackets.

The angle brackets need to be a bit bigger.

So far I've pretty much just built it and played it in unison for a drone fest on improvfriday.

You can see the pictures (use your back button) and listen to the mp3 here:
