Directions for the suspension:
Artist will "walk up the tree" by placing feet on tree and using pully system as a harness system. At comfortable height for player (Waist hight of musician playing strings) artist will then assume a "plank" posture and suspend flat with feet planted on tree. Saw horses will be on hand to act as supports if needed for resting. Actual suspension will last approximately 20 minutes, so sound testing will take place before hand using pulls.
