      Is the project “Who can make the most interesting thing with cardboard”?

      Geez the people are spicy today. I think it’s interesting and I used to play violin so I know how technical that must be. 😊

    3. So far it’s pretty well done. It’s missing the very slight convex curves on either side of the body but that’s probably pretty hard to replicate in cardboard. I kinda hope he tries to string it with something. I’d be real curious if it manages to make any noise.

      I wonder what it will sound like since it has a different resonance than wood. Also wondering about structural stability with it being super hollow

      Hello! I actually recently made a wooden, Lyre, and I’m a true viola player! (Never played violin). Looks very good, is it going to have strings?

      What a coincidence!! I made something similar when I was in high school as well

    7. Takes me back to when I made a cardboard guitar prop for a cosplay in art class at lunch

    8. Why’d he pick the viola over the violin?

      So he could C what he’s working on!

    9. hell yeah! I made a ukulele out of cardboard for a project in college! It’s looking really good so far 🙂

    10. What is the purpose of this? Is he hoping it’ll actually produce a decent sound, or is it more of an art or engineering piece, or a prop for something like a play?

      Regardless, it’s looking pretty awesome.
