Talk:Denis d'or

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Description

Where can I find a detailed descripton of this instrument, or at least some reputable sources? How could electricity be used to modify the sound? Can someone please explain the sense of the following sentences?

• But the most special feature was that Diviš (temporarily) charged the iron strings with electricity in order that the sound quality might be enhanced — "purified" so to speak.[...] Additionally, he installed a slightly sadistic gimmick so that, any time he wanted, the player could be given an electric shock.
