Building A Band
For this project we had to build a band consisting three instruments that could play all 7 note, one instrument had to be a chimes, one a wind, and the last one had to be a strings instrument. We built an electric Hurdy Gurdy, a Pipe out of Pvc , and a xylophone out of metal pipe.
First the Pipophone. Second The Mechanical Musical Monstrosity. Third the Bassuba
Here is a closer look at the Mechanical Musical Monstrosity
Main Concepts
Frequency: the rate at which the wave vibrates, its measured in Hertz's
Wavelength: The length of a wave
Sound Waves: Vibrations through the air to create sound
Medium: Anything a wave can travel through
Pitch: the quality of sound measure by how low or high something is

Reflection
In my group I had Poh, Brian, and myself. I felt like the project went awesome. It was really fun to make all the cool instruments. My favorite one was the "MMM", it was Poh's idea and we decided to go with it and it turned out amazing. One "pit" we had was for the first few days of class we didn't have the supplies so we did not do anything. One "peak" we had was that once we got the supplies we worked very hard. Our second "pit" was that we spent a lot of time on the on the "MMM" and it could have been more work than it was worth, but in the end it turned out amazing so it was worth the time. Our final "peak" was we got along quite well and had a good time doing it. I am happy with this project because I learned a lot about sound and musical instruments. Overall I had a great time and learned a lot.
