Indeed. Which I don't play.

I'd probably get that one.

Would you recognise the *sound* those spokes make when plucked? Of 
course, today I understand that the sniffness of the rods causes them to 
resist being bend, which adds a 2nd-order dx/dt term to the transfer 
function of the system, which introduces dispersion, which changes the 
resonant frequencies of the system such that they are no longer 
harmonically related... but when I was 9, I just used to like twanging 
the spokes.
