About a year ago <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lizarum.com\/\">Liz Arum<\/a> (of Makerbot fame, at least for me) did a summertime DIY\/making workshop with a bunch of kids and built a few projects from SnipBurn (as well as others).

This, obviously, takes many more windings than the 42-gauge design, but she reports that the sound is good.  I&#8217;ve since talked to other SnipBurn makers who&#8217;ve likewise used these much thicker gauge wires and had good results, so I&#8217;m going to start experimenting with this cheaper\/easier wire as I work on projects for my next book (which is all musical instruments).  Stay tuned for more details on my findings.<br \/>\nFYI, if you&#8217;ve built something cool based on one of the projects in SnipBurn, then totally hit me with some links to pics, audio, or video; I&#8217;m happy to add it to the gallery and share your links.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve meant to post this for ages, and it somehow kept slipping through the cracks.
