I have recently made an instrument, and it is named Strings of Heaven. I got the idea of making from one of my neighboors who loves instruments. My instrument is a string instrument. My instrument is plexi glass in the shape of a diamond. It has 4 strings connected from side to side.You can change the pitch of my instrument by tightening the bolts. my instrument also has a hole in the middle to help with acoustics. The name of my Concert Hall is The Sounds of Music, and my band name is Sound Drop.

The materials i used to make my instrument are pretty simple. for the body of my instrument i used plexi glass with a sheet of metal in between the two pieces of plexi glass. Then, top of that,there are two metal bars one on each side with 4 bolts on each metal bar. Then there are 4 strings atached to aa pair of bolts on each side running down the middle of the instrument. I found most of the materials at home, but my dad found the plexi glass at his job.

My instrument was very easy to make. First, you had to get the two pieces of plexi glass and attach the metal sheet in between the two pieces. You do that welding them together whitch my dad had to help me with. Then, you get the two metal bars and attach one on each side whitch you also had to weld. Then i had to put the 8 bolts on the metal bars. Then i attached the string onto the bolts. Finaly my instrument was completly finished. There was only one problem with my instrument. That was getting the string to sound different. i just had to tighten each bolt a little different than the others.

In playing my instrument, you just pluck the strings. The vibrations are then transfered to the hole in the bottom of the instrument producing the sound. You can change the pitch by switching the positions of your fingers. You tune my instrument by tightening the bolts in different ways. Tyhe sound waves travel to that middle hole and produce the sound. That is how you play my instrument.

I thought my project turned out really good. I liked how making instruments really make you think since you have to solve a bunch of problems that could go wrong with your instrument. I learned a lot about music and how to make music. If i could change anything, it would be the sound of the instrument because it is really loud. I would loosen the bolts a little. That is everything you need to know about Strings of Heaven.
