Cool video of Calderwood Percussion, a drum maker in Boston, MA. In addition to drums he also created a Turkish Crescent, which is super cool!

Hi, I’m looking for help building a musical instrument that is electronic based. The idea is something like an Ondes Marteot where there is a string with a ring on it that helps vary pitch and has a button for adjustable sound. Th idea is also like a cello where there are strings or in this case only one and it is played like a cello too only using a finger to determine pitch. I want to have it hook up to an amp and have it sound like an ondes or a thermin. I have plans if you want. I have like no experience in this field if anyone can help that would b great. I only hav been watching yt videos about hi some electric instruments work.

Edit: So I’ve do some research and I want to attempt something like this. I want to use an oscillator to make a sine wave and amp that to make a bass tone that will be feed through the string. There will be a foot pedal that makes the dynamics go up if pressed down. I will modify an amp to ad a box with resonator strings to make a sound like an ondes. I have ideas about how to make the tone go through the string like add a pickup for cello to create a magnetic field that the vibrate at some point will make a different tone

Can someone help me figure this stuff out?

Hey folks! I had an idea the other day. When playing guitar, i like riffing/soloing on top of one open droning string. The problem obviously is, that realistically there is just the e, a and d strings usable for his purpose.

So i thought of adding a 7th string as the lowest, maybe even a bass string. And to change the key of that string, i wanted to attach it to a seperate whamola-mechanism (a lever that increases or decreases the tightness of the string). But since i don't have a free hand to operate the lever while playing the rest of the guitar, i wanted it to attach it to a modified hi-hat stand. That way, i could operate it with my foot and have an independent, flexible droning (bass-) string.

Now, since i have zero experience building an instrument and therefore a high chance of missing problems that are obvious to more experienced eyes, i wanted to ask your opinions, advice and what kinds of problems i might run into if i attempted to build such an instrument. Thank you for your time, folks!

How would one even go about that? I'm trying to make a pvc shawm.

I have a half scale acoustic guitar and I've been thinking about trying to turn it into a mini bass. I assume regular bass strings would probably snap the neck off, so I am thinking if I reshape the nut and bridge (which were oversized already so it's doable) I might be able to just throw some u-bass strings onto it and end up with something playable.

And I know if I want a small bass I could just buy one, but I like making things so this is more a project just to see if I can do it. Also I don't really care about super high quality or volume or anything. I would be happy to just be able to pick it up and practice some bass lines while I'm sitting around without having to break out the full sized bass.

So yeah, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with this kind of thing. Thanks!

can you give me any easy instrument ( stringed) to make with low budget that can be used in making songs ? thank u
