Making Musical Devices
Bare Touch Board
https://www.bareconductive.com/make/touch-board-basic-projects/
One tool, a million possibilities! Create sensors with the Touch Board’s 12 electrodes and trigger sounds through its MP3 player. Make a MIDI piano, an interactive wall, a proximity sensor — you decide. Use our cross‐platform installer to add loads of code examples to the Arduino IDE.
If you're looking for interesting application examples for the Touch Board and Electric Paint this is the place for you. Check out Bare Conductive's Tutorials, resources, or the range of projects submitted by our users. We're always looking for more interesting examples to share with our community, so if you have a project to contribute please get in touch. Just email: [email protected]

Laser-Cut Ukelele
http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Cut-Ukulele/
Skills: Machine Safety; Musical Instrument Design; Adobe Illustrator; Lasercutting, drill press and hand tools
Students design and prototype a musical instrument, using both traditional woodworking tools and digital tools such as vector drawing software and lasercutters.
I'll show you how to use a laser cutter to make a nice, semi-attractive, decent sounding concert scale ukulele. This sweet baby will give you hours of Blue Hawaii strumming pleasure and can be made with minimal tools.
