Match Box
CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION:
“MATCHBOX GUITAR” GUITAR: AS DEFINED IN THE WIKIPEDIA IS A POPULAR ‘MUSICAL INSTRUMENT’ CLASSIFIED AS A “STRING INSTRUMENT” WITH ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 18 STRINGS, USUALLY HAVING 6. THE SOUND IS PROJECTED EITHER ACOUSTICALLY OR THROUGH ELECTRICAL AMPLIFICATION (FOR AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR OR AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, RESPESTIVELY.) IT IS TYPICALLY PLAYED BY STRUMMING OR PLUCKING THE STRINGS WITH THE RIGHT HAND WHILE FRETTING (OR PRESSING AGAINST THE FRET) THE STRINGS WITH THE LEFT HAND. THE GUITAR IS A TYPE OF “CHORDOPHONE”. TRADITIONALLY CONSTRUCTED FROM A WOOD AND STRUNG WITH GUT, NYLON, OR STEEL STRINGS AND DISTINGUISHED FROM OTHER CHORDOPHONES BY its CONSTRUCTION AND TUNINGS. THE MODERN GUITAR WAS PRECEDED BY THE GITTEM, THE VIHUELA, THE FOUR-COURSE RENAISSANCE GUITAR, AND THE FIVE-COURSE BAROQUE GUITAR ALL OF WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN SIX-STRING INSTRUMENT. SO BECAUSE OF MY CURIOSITY AND RESERARCHES ABOUT WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO TO A MATCHBOX, I WAS ABLE TO THINK AND INVENT OF AN “IMPROVISED OR MINIATURE VERSION GUITAR” THAT IS ONLY MADE FROM AN EMPTY MATCHBOX. AT FIRST, IT GOT ME THINKING “IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE TO PRODUCE A STRING SOUND FROM A MATCHBOX?”. BUT AS I RESEARCH FOR MORE INFORMATION TO PROVE MY INVENTION, I FOUND IT REALLY INTERESTING TO MAKE FOR MY SCIENCE INVESTIGATORY PROJECT AND TITLED IT AS “MATCHBOX GUITAR”. WHEN PEOPLE ESPECIALLY MUSICIANS WHO LOVE INSTRUMENTS HEARD THE WORD “GUITAR” THE WORD LIKE “HEAVY”, “BIG”, ARE RELATED ALWAYS TO THE WORDS THAT ALWAYS TO THE WORDS THAT COME FIRST IN THEIR MIND. SO BECAUSE OF THE THOUGHT, IT MADE ME THINK THAT SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GUITAR LIKE its BIG AND HEAVY CAN BE A PROBLEM TO THE PERSONS WHO USED GUITAR. SO TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM MY INVESTIGATORY PROJECT IS MADE FOR THEM.
OBJECTIVES:
1. TO DEMONSTRATE HOW STRING INSTRUMENTS WORK BY BUILDING OUR VERY OWN MINIATURE GUITAR FROM A MATCHBOX.
2. TO PRODUCE A NEW PRODUCT
