Spinner cancels Make violin strings: Needs 5000 cave spider silk thread
« on: March 06, 2012, 03:11:27 am »
I found this rather dwarfy:

I can imagine that's something we'll be able to do once music is implemented.

Dwarf Fortress- where a sudden mist that causes you to bleed from every orifice and drop dead is one of the better outcomes.

hm. It would be more realistic to use metal strands. They give a louder sound than catguts (or I think, spider silk). And there was no violin before 1400.

True. Though the piccolo is a relatively new instrument too, and we can make those, so the timeline might not be that big a problem.

Spider silk just sounded like a dwarfy material for violin strings, but metal strands are not bad at all, now that you mentioned it. Realistic too, sure.
