1. How is sound produced by this instrument (now that you know more about sound, please try to refer specifically to the energy transfer and vibrations)?

Vibrations of the strings create a sound similar to a tuning fork. The body of the guitar amplifies the sounds.

2. Based on your understanding, how are you changing the pitch? What physical characteristics are important in this instrument?

You're changing the pitch of the instrument by using a thicker string.

3. What materials will you actually be using for your instrument and why? How will you play your instrument? What is your plan for constructing the instrument?


Wood, and Guitar Strings, maybe some sort of pegs (Most likely some sort of pegs to keep the strings on)


4. What outstanding questions do you still have?
