Musical Instrument: Trevor Hinton

​I am really interested in making a guitar for this musical project because I feel I'd be able to put something good together. A guitar is played by strumming strings that are attached to tuners at the top of the guitar or neck as it is called; the player strums the strings in different variations and cords to create a tune and the shape of the guitar is oblong and fat at the base or hollowed piece and very narrow and skinny as it reaches the top with this being said this makes me think that when creating my guitar that I can create and change sound by changing the length of the tuning as well as changing the shape at the base. Some connections that can be made about waves and what I know about guitars is that the waves bounce out as it hits and meets the hollow center of the guitar where sound seems to stay and reverberate. The waves that are made from strumming on the strings on a guitar can be related to when you shake a slinky back and forth and it takes a while to slow down in the sense that when you strum the string it continues to carry out the sound for awhile.
