Lets build a band!
The goal of this project was to build a band (obviously), but not metaphorically, literally, we were told to build the instruments, including atleast one string instrument (guitar), one wind instrument (pan-flute), and one chime instrument (xylophone). I got the lovely job of the chime instrument because I have next to know musical knowledge what so ever (yay)! Throughout the project we all encountered several major problems, notably, my chimes cutting through the strings, the pan-flute not having a full octave, and a few other issues.
Looking back on this project, I feel that had I known that some of my materials simply would not work, I could have done better. I feel the delay caused by replacing half my instrument caused me and my team to loose valuable time and effort. I was lucky that one of my teammates had finished early. However, I don't feel that using the wrong materials was a failure, simply a lesson learned. Let it be known, PVC does not have a natural frequency!
