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.
Recorded with Zoom H1 and home made contact mic, on 05-Jun-2011.
