The Artist
Heavy Metal Stringworks builds giant playable musical instruments and takes them on the road as interactive installation art. Each sculpture is designed to be touched, played, and experienced — by anyone, regardless of musical background.
The work lives at the intersection of fabrication, music, and community. When a stranger picks up a mallet and plays a note on a ten-foot steel banjo, something happens. That moment is what this is all about.
Work Together
Bringing a giant playable instrument to your festival is easier than you think. Let's talk about what's possible.
