Musical Instrument Blog #1

​The instrument that I am attempting to create is a piano because I really like pianos. Pianos are usually played by the person pressing down on the keys which hits a string inside the piano that hit an object to produce the sound. Pianos are mainly shaped as rectangles with a circular end. As I continued to research about the different pianos, it made me think about how I can change the sound that comes from it. I thought that maybe if I apply a certain amount of tension on certain strings, it will produce a different sound that may be higher or lower than usual. Also I thought about changing the shape of the piano to see if that will have any effect on the production of my music.
