For this project my group made various different instruments. We created a guitar which was made from wood and some old guitar strings. A pan flute that was made from metal pipe, and chimes from metal pipes held up by strings.
Guitar:
The guitar strings are formatted at different lengths to create a different note. They are all pulled with the Same amount of tension. The length of the string determines how big the wave is which varies in different notes.
Chimes:
The chimes work by the pipes vibrating in and out. When we hit the chimes they vibrate and create a note. We cut the chimes at different lengths to produce different sounds/notes.
Pan Flute:
All types of flutes produce sound by a vibrating column of air inside a pipe. When one changes the length of the pipe they change the pitch. The more space (longer pipe) for the column of air to vibrate in, the deeper the pitch is. The shorter the distance for the air to vibrate the higher the note is.

Reflection:
This project was fun because we learned about pitch and frequencies. It was hard to get the notes on the guitar perfect so that was a struggle. The pan flute and chimes were the easiest to make because we just had to cut the pipes to a certain length. Something that we could have done better was planning out the project better instead of just going for it. Some things that went well were understanding the notes.
