Introduction
This project is an
opportunity for you to explore the scientific principles behind musical
instruments.
As a part of this project, you can create your own musical instrument
that is one of the more fun and rewarding means of fulfilling the
project requirements. |

Project
description
After collecting information about
different musical instruments and how they work, you focus in one
specific instrument and try to make a working model of that instrument. Later, you
can demonstrate your creation in class by playing a simple tune or
whatever your creation is capable of. A written report must also
be done, but it can be short (2-4 pages) describing the design, how your
instrument produces sound, and the instrument's frequency range. You
might digitally sample a note or two from your instrument and look at
the spectrum and see if you can relate it to the physical
characteristics of the instrument. |
