>>>Love to work with the servomotor, so It won't be as akward as using vibrators as I have been doing for the past few years.

In all seriousness, haha, you mean...vibrator as in...?


yep. multi-speed vibrators are great to work with junk metal, springs, etc.
same concept of the servomotor, but easier to manage. I buy cheap ones from red-light district vending machines, and destroy them.
still have a big one bought in Paris many years ago.
live-wise, I always put a small one connected to metallic part and effects and leave them be for the whole gig.


>>>Is the reverb natural (not including the echo) in the 3rd recording?

yep, result of the springs

will record more complex stuff tomorrow and try to post a video. I have several weird spring based instruments that are perfect for this use

Got the Zoom H1 recently, so far it seems really good; properly portable size, good sound, extremely foolproof and easy operation with all controls physical rather than menu-diving, seems to be able do deal with gig-level volumes OK, and has decently fast startup time which I find really important for field recordings. Also has a powered plug input for binaural/spy headphone mics which is one reason I got it :)

I got some cheap-ish windshield for it which works in normal use but doesn't totally cut wind rumble in stormy coastal situations
