The Axe Box Guitar

*It's already the second action project for my Light and Sound class, and we're already creating musical instruments! We learned and studied about how sound waves can travel through the human ear and how we interpret them when the sound waves enter our brain. Some sounds we call noise, if it's annoying and some sounds we call music if it has a melody or tune to it. What I liked most about creating a guitar is the fact that the designing could've been in any way or shape. Without being creative the guitar would've been basic and normal.

     The way my Axe Box Guitar produces sound is when I strum my string, the sound wave vibrations travels through the sound hole and the sound bounces around and pushes out the wavelengths for people to hear it. My guitar is made out of cardboard, metal, tape, wire, and two pencils. The boxed cardboard is the body of the guitar. The neck is made of a long metal pole that runs through the top of the body and holds the wire (guitar string) that you can pluck to make a sound. The two pencils are the bridges for the guitar. I used two bridges because my neck needed to be leveled with the body of my whole guitar. 

     One thing somebody told me about guitars was that --

"Guitars can come in many different shapes and sizes, it still makes music if it can produce a sound" 

 Adam Cohen told me that before I even started building my own guitar.
