Anything can turn into its bright side

Jason's music teacher asked his students to build an instrument for a music project.
Each student could choose one instrument to build. Some choose drum, flute and guitar.
Jason thought harp was cool, and nobody liked to choose it, so he was very proud to build it. His teacher just smiled.
At home, he told me that he needed to build harp for his music project. He was excited. I asked him if he knew how to build it.
He said, “No idea.” Then I asked, you just picked it for fun. He nodded, “and you could help.” Yeh! What a great idea!
Anyway too late to change, so we goggled on internet. First we checked the picture to see how complex to make it.
On YouTube, we watched how to make a similar one and made the proper sound. But it was out of question since we had only one week left and
Even we had the correct material; we still could not make the fine tune for it. So I suggested using elastic strings to inmate the sound.
Anyway we thought the shape was more important. Our goal was to make it look like a harp plus if you strike the strings, it makes a sound, no matter what kind of sound it is.
So then, it was a simple project. With help, we built a nice harp and his music teacher was very impressive.
Look, here it is. I guess it also teaches me that anything can turn into its bright side.
Ours look like this, much simpler. Anyway for a 8 years old boy.
