Hi I’m back again! I’m so inspired by the word – Pizzicato, which is the plucking of strings. And thus, I decided to do something with strings and threads! 

Since I’m on a budget, I couldn’t get the guitar/ukelele strings as they were too expensive 🙁 And it will limit my experimentations too. So, I went to get different thickness of fishing lines and a beading wire, hoping that it will produce different sounds. And guess what, it did! 

I bought a few pretty little beads as to play around with it, thinking that maybe I could thread them through the string, and it will vibrate against the thread itself when plucked, producing a different sound.

Here are my process picture for my test model! 

Lets start off with the skeleton itself. I tried using wooden roads as the pillars… but I couldn’t seem to secure it well enough onto the foam board itself. Thus, I decided to go back to my good old foam board as the structure.

The structure looks super straight now right? Wait till I start tensioning the strings… (casually product placing Oishi Honey drink hahaha)

SADLY. After tensioning the strings, the foam board wasn’t strong enough to hold the structure, hence it started warping due to the tension. But I’m glad it worked! The wooden rod in the center was supposed to act as a mechanism for me to rotate, while it has mini “thorns” to pluck the strings. 

Thats all for now. Stay tune for my final product.
