I am making a
thumb piano. The sound coming from a "thumb
piano" is the rate of vibration of the key/pins over the hollow in the
base. The body of the instrument, the base, is responsible for providing a
stable platform to hold the keys very tight. It also acts as a resonating
chamber to amplify the vibratory sound of the keys. The principal is the same
as it is for a guitar. The main difference being each key on a thumb piano is
only connected at one end. I will be changing the pitch with the length of the
keys. Which are physical and important to the thumb piano besides from the base
of it. I will be making the base out of a block a wood made hollow and bobby
pins with pop sickles stick holding it in place tightly. Miner thing I might
need help with is how the make the sound as loud as possible.
