So nice to watch but probably not to play with it

This video is stunning but also misleading–while the strings do move laterally more than half an inch, the apparent “squiggly” shapes we see here are an illusion. The apparent short period waves (i.e. the way it appears that peaks and troughs in a given string occur only 2 or 3 inches apart) are an artifact of the Canon’s video raster pattern interacting with the angle and frequency of the strings. At no point in time does a bass string really have the rippled shape that we see here.

Fascinating – and reminiscent. The music took me back down to Rio De J.
