The Homeswinger is a twelve string electric instrument with a changing sounds from poignant clock or bell-like sounds by means of an additional movable bridge. The technique is based on the work of Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth’s dissonant screwdriver guitar preparations and the theory of Harry Partch who incorporated it in his Kitara instruments.

And here are the picts to proof it:
