Hacks Du Strum - Sixty Four Pixels

HACKS-DU-STRUM … The LE STRUM User Gallery

We always love to see what you get up to with our products, especially when you take them and make something totally new out of them!

This has been particularly true of our LE STRUM controller. Here is a gallery of hacks, mods and add-ons based on the LE STRUM kit – maybe they might get you inspired! (We have a page of tips on how you might want to mod the basic kit..)

Thanks to everyone who sent me photos and links. Please get in touch if you want to share your project, build, performance etc based on LE STRUM or any of our other products!

Jakob Ekvall had the brilliant idea of using a conductive glove to allow finger picking!

The glove used to pluck the wires of this custom Le Strum is usually used with a TENS machine. It would scale up nicely to a big harp I think 🙂
