My invention is called the Woodiez Fiddle.  My dad got a 1-1/2 inch board from our garage. Then, I used a measuring tape to measure the board to a length of 27 inches long. My dad cut the board at my mark.  Then dad clamped the board so I could use the electric sander to sand the board.  Then dad and I went inside and I drilled four holes 7 inches from one end to the other. 

Then I drilled more holes form the end of the board at 2 inches, 2-1/2 inches, 3 inches and 3-1/2 inches away from the end at an angle.  Then, back out in the garage, my dad cut a nut and a bridge.  Then I used a phillips head screwdriver to screw in 3 phillips screws at one end and 4 flat head screws at the other with a flat head screwdriver. Then, we cut copper wire so it will be able to fit from one end to the other end to tie around the screws. 

Then after that, I tied the copper around the screws 5 times. (So all you have to do to change the pitch is to unscrew the screws a little bit.) Then I slid the nut and the bridge under the copper wires.  Then I marked the position of the copper wires on the nut and the bridge.  Then I used a file to cut the grooves on the nut first and then the bridge.  Then I took out the screws and the copper wire. 

After I did that, I stained the fiddle and then the nut and bridge a cherry color stain. 

The next day, I glued and nailed the bridges in their rightful place. Then I reinstalled the copper wire and the screws where I put them before.  (The screws that are at an angle can be turned to changed the pitch, and just press 3 fingers on the string to make it a high pitch. Take them off to make a low pitch. To change the dynamics you move the bow fast to make it loud and play it slow to make it soft.)

Then I left the fiddle alone and I started on the bow. Dad cut a 5/8 inch dowel rod at 27 inches long at my mark. Then he cut the dowel rod for me length wise in half 23 inches from one end.  Then dad cut the groove, then I nailed and glued a 1 inch piece of the leftover split dowel rod on to the end of the bow. Then I drilled holes at each end of the bow for the bow string.  After that, I drilled a hole on the handle of the bow for tensioning screw. 

Then came my favorite part! I stained the bow! Then my dad and I had to try different types of wires and strings and my dad and I found out that the plastic coated wire made the best sound for my fiddle. After I Found that out, I threaded the coated wire in the bow string holes and tied knots in both ends of the wire. Then I screwd in the tensioning screw and I pulled the wire into the groove of the screw. Dad tightened (or tuned) the fiddle wires. And last but not least, I played (tested) music.  It was a success!! The Woodiez Fiddle was completed  in time!

Timbre:  Sounds like a cool jazzy, scratchy sound.
