Testing the Heavy String

I slipped back inside through the door flap as night fell and trotted into the quiet living room! Resting in the corner was a colossal wooden guitar propped on a low metal stand. I leaped onto the base, reached up, and clamped both hands around the thickest wound bronze string. With a sharp tug, I let it snap! TWANG! A deep, thunderous hum surged out of the dark soundhole, shaking the entire timber body. I pressed both palms flat against the polished soundboard, letting the heavy acoustic pulse rattle clean into my arms and chest. Feeling that massive vibration slowly fade into silence was the most satisfying way to finish my day!
