I approached European Springs &amp; Pressings with the need to develop a bespoke solution.<br\/>Built into the infrastructure of the stage set, the springs are struck, bowed and scraped with amplification. Although there are instances of car springs and extension springs being used for sound effects, bowing springs is a rarity; and with the right specifications we\u2019d achieve a unique sound quality.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Springs for every need<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Michael Gibbs<\/strong>, Managing Director of the Cornish factory says: <em>\u201cOur springs and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesjoforsab.com\/en-us\/product\/wire-forms\/\">wire forms<\/a> are used across multiple industries for multiple purposes from automotive to shipping, oil rigs to the medical industry but this really is a first. We\u2019ve had springs featured in the windows of Liberty of London, we\u2019ve been part of art installations and we\u2019ve formed part of the architecture across key landmarks but being used for sound is a whole new world of productivity. The spring really is the most versatile of products and its engineering is at the heart of so many sectors.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>Macbeth, played by Rory Kinnear, and Lady Macbeth played by Anne-Marie Duff, is directed by the Director of the National Theatre, Rufus Norris.
