Is there a science experiment/project that has anything to do with a guitar?

Question

or any that has to do with an bass or mandolin?

And an actual experiment or project or suggestions would be loads help.

Answer 1

Sure. You could look at the ways sound is generated through the construction of either instrument, and the ways that changing materials or design affect the sound. There's a lot of information available on this. A simple experiment might be to look at the difference between steel strings and the nylon strings used on classical guitars. If you want to have fun with an electric guitar, you might investigate the phenomenon of feedback. Lots of possibilities.

Answer 2

I would think you could do a pretty basic science project with any stringed instrument. Explain that when the strings vibrate, depending on how thick, and long they are they will vibrate at a certain wavelength. You can get as elaborate as you want to on what happens next. Use a diagram to show the path of the waves, and how the body of the guitar makes the sound come alive. You can even give a demonstration to showcase your talents!

Good luck,

Stevo.

Answer 3

I'm not aware of one but you can invent several. Do an experiment on 'why the strings play' or 'how far can you tighten them before they break. For both of those you could heat the srings as well as get them cold and even wet to see the effects and then write your paper on that.

Answer 4

You could do a project on how high you could get the strings to sound before they break.

Answer 5

ummm the only thing I can think of is a physics element to it and that would be to say the frequency or pitch of the guitar.

Answer 6

how about the science of sounds

Answer 7

Yes, there are lots of them. I hope this answered your question.
