Instrument

Modeled in Rhino

 The focus of my string instrument was to visibly portray the vibrations of sound. When the instrument is played, the vibrations of the strings run through the bridge and into the metal plate. The plate may be filled with water or oil which will create ripples when played.  The body of the guitar is made of oak, which was soaked and heated to bend around the face. The neck is made of poplar and is inset with a steel rod for strength. The four knobs on the body of the instrument control the tension of the suspended plate.
