Michael Sterling's Web Page Last edit January 8th
2026 WIP Notes This web site has no intended structure. It
is a place that I can use to store some of the things that I am currently
working on for review by friends. Where you see the word 'Download' be
aware that clicking it will download an animation. In a windows system
a small icon will beplaced on the bottom of the
page. Click on it to start it.
Version 1.0 The above instrument was designed in an effort to
have something playable and reproducible. The geometry was a key for
me. I wanted to produce a 'singing sculpture'. I spent about 3000 hours in the design process. I produced
digital drawings that could be printed and marked up. This process
perfected the design all in digital form. Initial fabrication and
check-out worked seamlessly. All of it is in digital form so it can be
reproduced by making a phone call to Kuhl Machine Shop in Keady
Ontario. Click

machines. For a look at where I work Click Here
Eli and Dalia Maor examine the
original Bernoulli. In the foreground is a 1 string test fixture.
December 2026 Mike sees the
prototype Bernoulli III for the first time since summer of 2024. It’s made of walnut with a Balkan Birchwood top and bottom. Thirty-six strings all progressing from
smallest to largest by the 12th root of 2 or about 6 percent
incrementally from top to bottom. It
was Pythagoras who defined an octave.. An octave is reached when a string doubles
in length. So
after every 12 strings it a new octave (again 12 root
of 2). Beautiful instrument that now
needs a voice. Mike and his son Eric
are already designing the next revision to give it that voice. A Note from Eli Maor to Mike Sterling April

Bernoulli Involute First Tests April 1, 2017 The test were done in a small room 10x12
using my PC to record the sound. Meandering Mike was made up on the
fly. It was recorded. It will be revisited in due time.
What you hear is a bit halting, but after all, it is what it is. Meandering Mike (Mike
