Going through some old recordings on my hard drive.
Elastic band wrapped around a plastic filing box. The plastic box works well as a resonant body and it is possible (with a lot of practice and some luck) to scrape/rub the elastic band and get 'violin-like' sounds.
It is also necessary to experiment with the object used to scrape/rub/bow the elastic band. I tried different types of pen and settled for one that worked best. It had a very slight rough texture to improve grip and that works well to induce the rubber band to vibrate.
Good plucked sounds (at the start) and some very good ominous bowed sounds (towards the end).
Recorded with Zoom H1 and home made contact mic, on 05-Jun-2011.
