What physics project can I incorporate on different types of strings, and the sound quality of it?

cutie_pie4aj asked:


I am to do a physics project, and I chose it to be on music. I have a device to measure frequencies of the sound waves and an instrument at which I can hook a string to, and change its tension, thus causing a different sound change.

My physics project is to have a set of pre-lab questions, post-lab questions; and atleast one set up of durable, functional, and beautifully constructed equpment (using new equipment in a new way is acceptable as well)

I know the topic at which I would want to base my experiment on, but I do not know what to create of it.
Or if any other ideas involving music and strings, please let me know. I am still undecided upon what I want my project to be and what to build.

You can use different string instruments or you an even use different types of strings. Rope, nylon, thread and use different tensions with them.
