All strings attached
Some of the steel strings (there are 29 in total!) and corresponding adjusting pegs of my monochord instrument, that I built this summer.
They are attached to pegs on the sound board, on the upper part of the instrument, which allows to adjust their tension. After going round a smooth 90° bend, they rest on a brass rod that transmits their vibrations to the wooden resonance body.
On a monochord, all the strings are tuned to the same tone. In my case, the last six are made of brass and are tuned an octave lower.
