Note: The Trautonium uses a constantan wound string, not a simple wire,
ie. a lot of constantan windings arround a natural guts string.

O. Sala joked in an interview I heard, that before they used this type
they really had a single wire, to get some voltage out of it it needed
a lot of current, this means heat. So they avoided playing in the hot
regions of the wire, if possible, Really hot notes .... ;->>.
