I am making a thumb piano. It is a rectangular shaped block, which belongs in the string family. It is played while in your hands or on a flat surface by flicking the pins, which act as the keys on this piano. The keys/ pins are different lengths so when you flick it, it produces different sounds. I plan to make it a 3 by 5 rectangle with bobby pins as keys, with different lengths to make different notes. A connection from this to waves are the vibration of the strings and the keys on my piano.
