Play a Bass Quadrifoil??

Some time ago while flying a Quadrifoil 25, I discovered that 
by plucking the main lines with my thumbs that the line 
vibration and it's resulting 'thunk' is transmitted up the 
line to the sail which acts like a sounding board, causing 
onlookers to wonder where the noise is originating from. One 
guy even thougnt that a plane flying over had developed engine
trouble.. Add to this the sound of overlapping lines rubbing 
against one another with 4-5 wraps in the lines, and your Quad 
can be a flying music machine.. :-)
