How it's made

Source
a steel hammer taps a hand-held chisel; a 0.25 ms attack and 2 ms filtered noise pulse excite the tool. A separate 5 ms stone-contact burst follows by 0.7 ms through the chisel.
Body
gripped steel has inharmonic modes near 2.1, 3.4, 5.3 and 7.6 kHz, T60 65-300 ms; stone has dense, strongly damped modes at 480-3900 Hz, T60 22-85 ms, without a hollow boom.
Envelope
the bright tick leads a dry stone click; high steel modes die before the lower ones. Fracture noise darkens from 7.5 to 2.2 kHz in 75 ms; discrete chips settle by 280 ms.
Events
eight irregular, progressively weaker chip contacts, each a 2-7 ms filtered noise grain, with short mineral resonances and narrow stereo scatter; no room reverberation is added.
Variation
seeded mode tuning varies by 2 percent, chip timing, frequency, strength and pan vary. Tool size shifts steel modes; bite changes contact hardness; grit controls fracture and chips; grip controls damping. Presets cover fine carving, granite dressing, sandstone and an open grip.
