Instrument explanation

Introduction

The Uekiolum is a cross between ukulele a drum and a violin.

How it is played.
The Uekiolum is a very low pitched instrument. To get a lower note you have to pluck the outside strings. If you want a higher note you have to pluck the inside strings. If you want to play it like a violin you rub a ruler on the strings and it makes a squeaky sound.

How it works.
When you pluck the strings they vibrate, these vibrations echo inside the box making sound waves that travel to your ears. When the strings hit the box they make a sound like a drum, this happens because the card board vibrates and creates more sound waves.

Conclusion
In conclusion I believe that the Uekiolum is a really easy instrument to play and makes a great sound.
