Bandname of the Week – 9/15/04

Sympathy Strings

Because we love coming up with bandnames we offer a new one every week. This week’s name is: Sympathy strings. From wikipedia:

Sympathetic strings or resonance strings are auxiliary strings found on many Indian musical instruments, as well as some Western Baroque instruments and a variety of folk instruments. They are typically not played directly by the performer (except occasionally as an effect), only indirectly through the tones that are played on the main strings, based on the principle of sympathetic resonance. The resonance is most often heard when the fundamental frequency of the string is in unison or an octave lower or higher than the catalyst note, although it can occur for other intervals, such as a fifth, with less effect.

So that’s this week’s bandname!

Note: Feel free to use any of our band names. We create all of them ourselves, so you don’t need to worry about us stealing from anywhere. The only thing we ask is that if you use one – let us know cause we’ll mention it!
