So So far we have made ukuleles, kalimbas, I am thinking the next one my be a Lyre (no idea how to make a regular harp).
The key is that they are low cost, I can now make ukes for probably under 10 bucks, the biggest cost is the tuners (if i could 3d print and hold tension I would be able to make them for so cheap lol).
Lyre’s seem kind of same-y to the kalimba, I would love more interesting ideas!
How fun! I want one of each! Not that I’m musically inclined any more, but they’d be fun to play while sitting on the deck!
I have a hammered dulcimer and love it. I also have a psaltry-that’s a lot smaller and probably doable…

I love these!
So you said this is for your engineering class - what about talking to the music teacher and seeing if they have any ideas? Maybe there is something that the music class could use or just some cool ideas they might have?
A slide guitar, a zither, a hurdy gurdy, and a log drum are some things that AI comes up with.
Here’s a harp I saw on Etsy
Here’s an item that was popular about 20 years ago. It might be time to bring them back: a door harp! Much simpler than many of the other instruments as well. Here’s an example:
Really? That’s a free design posted up here by @arh2 
Even the picture is stolen!
Really indeed. That is my design and photo and the background is my desk… 
I’m not going to do anything about it. I hope he/she has a good reason for needing the money. Otherwise, life has a way of catching up with you if you’re dishonest.
