reesetee commented on the word long string instrument
Invented by American composer Ellen Fullman, this instrument is played by walking along the length of its approximately 100 90-foot–long strings and rubbing them with rosined hands to produce longitudinal vibrations.
I'm thinking Ms. Fullman could have come up with a more creative name for it.
