The
Best
My Dad and I
made a guitar for Music Class. I drew a diagram and
got the wood I wanted. I took the diagram and
traced it on the wood and cut it out with a saw. My
Dad did that. I used a small paint lid for the
circle and cut it out. I then took a sander and
sanded it down. After I had the front and back of
the guitar, my Dad and I took some wood and drew 4
sides. I then put the bottom part together. I
flipped the front part over and nailed the four
sides on to the front and then nailed the back on.
To do the handle I got some more wood and decided
how big to make it. I then got 2 more blocks of
wood, then nailed one block of wood to the top of
the handle, then nailed one to the bottom part. I
had to make sure the block of wood was below the
hole.
I then found some
strings. I drilled 4 nails half way in, then took
my strings and rapped them around the nail. Then I
drilled it the rest of the way.
I then painted
it.
To make a high pitch
sound I strum the thinnest strings. To make a low
pitch I can strum the thick ones. My dynamics is
loud and to change it I strum softer. My timbre is
like a thundering sound. This project took me and
my Dad about 2 hours every Sunday!
