In Reply to: RE: Seems most any metal stuff works. The lengthh is to play with. Try a variety of lengths posted by pegwill on June 3, 2013 at 04:11:41:
Most use copper as it is the easiest to have a bit laying around. Most have some copperwire around. Insulated, bare does not matter much. The basic fact of a bit of metal. on thenegative terminal seems to improve the sound.
Some tried and use a loop of wire, some other forms. Some a strip of copper. Others one side of a nine volt battery.
IMO it is pretty wide open to experimentation.
