All the invented instruments in the String Theory arsenal were designed and constructed by Luke Rothschild, one of the founding members of the group. Luke learned about long-strings while at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he received his BFA in 1992.

String Theory utilizes many different invented percussion instruments as well. Read More
