An Italian student’s violin using spider silk was the winning entry in an award for innovation in London, celebrating the work of international students in the English capital.
Luca Alessandrini, a post graduate student at Imperial College London, created a violin using spider silk and resin – which you can see in action in the video below.
When you play the violin, the vibrations of the silk create a unique tone, and Alessandrini says the material allows more precise customization of the acoustics than other modern fibres do.
