The chien, is a secondary bridge which vibrates as you jerk your hand as you
turn the wheel. It only operates when the string that goes over it is engaged.
Buzzing, or what ever you wish to call it, is without doubt the hardest thing
to learn, but the most exciting when you get it to work. While learning you
cannot make it work, then all of a sudden its there, then, it becomes erratic
before you can guarantee to buzz in time on time every time. JON

chen as I've seen all three used to describe the built in rhythm buzzing sound,
how exactly does that thing work? On a harp I know how it works, as its an
attachment that you have to put on, for that constant effect, but I only see a
key on what appears to be the tail peice, is it a wooden dampner that's applied
to the strings, or does it have to do with the wheel?

the translation! :)

Scott,
The plans that you mentioned by Pignol are excellent and include a volume
of detailed information as well as a volume on construction. The plans are VERY
complete and the design is sound.
The plans include all aspects of the build and the information includes
things like the sounds produced by the instrument by the placement of the main
bridge at various locations on sound graphs.
In my opinion it is the most complete and the most thorough of an design
plans I have ever seen. Although it is entirely in French most of it is pretty
easy to make out as far as the build goes. The technical information will
require a lot of translation.
Scott
