Sorry for the slow reply, busy period! I'm suggesting you use the
string instrument as the controller of the whisper source/oscillator.
So in the basic case the volume of the string instrument controls the
volume of the whisper. You can then extend it so the other parameters
of the string instrument such as the frequency control something else
like the delay, spatial location or some filtering. Layering this
could sound quite interesting and you could combine layers of strings
and whispers controlled by strings. Sorry for the ambiguous wording;
by reso i was referring to a resonator guitar, a type of guitar that
works very well with an EBow and thus would be quite cool for this
use. Resonator guitars are made out of metal, I use this rather lovely
sounding gold tone, Paul Beard Signature:

Mod it with a string instrument is my preference.
I know i'm a bit too
keen on acoustic instruments now days but it would be very neat to
have a cello or double bass, etc as the control source to be
filtered/modulate in with the whispers or each other. Guitar or bass
with an ebow would also work. Reso's are great for that.

Many thanks for the suggestion Loki. Do you mind elaborating however? I am not
sure what kind of modulation you are suggesting. Also, by reso, do you mean
resonant filter?
Many thanks!
