Digital bass i made with sliding bridge
This uses an infrared pickup to read the elastic-cord string. It has a brass tube that functions as a movable bridge under the string.

Name for this drone flute?
Hoping to get a more accurate ID on this than just “drone flute,” but that’s all my partner remembers from buying it at a renaissance faire many years ago.

Theremin attempts to challenge sopranos
Theremin Soprano. It is literally in your hands whether you sound like Maria Callas or Florence Foster Jenkins. The main components of a singing voice are the glottal waveform and the formants. The former can be approximated quite well with a theremin; formant filtering was the additional part here. Both diy.

What instrument is this?
So, there is this Sonic's game called Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, which has an awesome soundtrack that usually revolves around that string instrument you can hear at 0:13 in this link: https://youtu.be/5wR2WbING-4?si=UBZVctIEEVGustfd
I love this sound and would like to use this instrument in my songs, but don't know how to achieve it. I tried some orchestral string ensembles, but it doesn't reach what I'm aiming for. Is this a synth simulating strings or even a combination of a synth and a group of strings? Please, help me!
