Banjo Box

The first thing I did was try to draw something out on a piece of paper. After that I drew a box on the piece of paper and a rubber band around the box. Then I thought of the idea of getting some strings from my guitar. Right after that I tried to find a box and I did…it was a metal sunflower box. I painted the box green and yellow after that. My dad hammered a nail into the metal box 8 times. I screwed screws into the nail holes and then I wrapped the strings around that….before I knew it, it was a perfect instrument.

You could change the pitch by loosening the screws to make a high and low sound on the strings. If I wanted to change the dynamics I just pull the strings soft or hard.
