How electric and acoustic guitars work.

Director's Notes:

How sound waves work in relation to musical instruments.

SciCast Notes:

Short and sweet; the film picks a little thing the team know, and delivers just that bit of knowledge. One of the things I like about SciCast is encouraging people to tackle the world in little bites. It works.

However, are we sure that the sound from an acoustic guitar is ‘amplified through the hole in the middle’? Hmm…
