General geometry of the instrument
Our stringed instrument is inspired from the lapsteel and the Chinese Guzheng : it has a long, thin body of wood and it is played on a table. It uses two bass strings under which electromagnetic actuators are placed.
The following figure summarizes the shape of the instrument.

The exact choice of the actuators is detailed in the next section.
