GyroValkyrie

January 13, 2005 By Brett Doar

The Gyrovalkyrie, a variation of the Huffyphonic Gyrobanshee, which is a musical instrument made of a bicycle wheel with the spokes cut out, and replaced by guitar strings. An electric guitar pickup is mounted over the strings, and it is amplified by an electric guitar amplifier, the amplifier’s speaker is mounted underneath the apparatus.

This was commissioned by attorney Ed Hayes, a great human being who has great taste in socks.
