Rubber Band Guitar

To make this easier each group can build a rubber band guitar shown in figure 2.

Rubber band guitar. Stretch the rubber band around the tissue box so it goes across. It s a little annoying if one person has to hold the rubber band all the time. In our rubber band bass guitar the vibrations travel through your finger to your ear. The thinner strings on your rubber band guitar are the same they vibrate more quickly and we perceive these vibrations as a higher pitched sound.

Wrap four large rubber bands around the box lengthwise. The dowel will hold the rubber bands securely in place. Place the knotted dowel into the body of the guitar and feed the rubber bands up through the string holes. Since the vibration causes the sound when the vibration stops the rubber band stops moving the sound also stops.

Sounds travel better through solids like your finger than through gases like the air. You want to end up with two rubber bands on the left side of the tube and two rubber bands on the right side of the tube. When you held the rubber band down the sound. By carefully manipulating these variables for example using rubber bands that are all the same length but different thickness you can create a rubber band guitar with multiple strings that each have.

Give a kid something new and he ll spend hours exploring the same. Stretch each string across the central guitar hole and into the corresponding string hole on the other side. This is because the molecules in a solid are so much closer together than in a gas so it is easier for the vibrations to be passed along. Position the rubber bands so that they are right over the tissue hole.

In the following article we will take you through the ways in which this can be done.
