If it made a dull "thud" it was relatively neutral. If it had a nice "ping" sound, it was more excited and resonant. Butyrate to me was smooth and soft sounding, and that's what you hear when you wind a coil on it too.
That's awesome!
I wonder what sorta sounds bobbins made of common nut materials like bone or Tusq would be capable of.
