Overview
Discover how strings make their wonderful sounds. String instruments come in all shapes & sizes. Some are small & can be held by the player. Others are so big that they have to rest on the floor. Some are made from dried gourds or exotic woods. Youll learn about acoustic & electric guitars, violins & violas, mandolins & banjos, & sitars & tampuras. String instruments can have any number of strings — from a 1-string bucket bass to a 100-string harpsichord! Youll read about instruments from all over the world, such as the Chinese er-hu, which has only 2 strings. Youll also get a chance to make your own instruments out of everyday materials.Book Details
