Final Project proposal

Since I am a musician I have always been interested finding new sound and experiment with all kinds of equipment related to music. I want to make an instrument that is based on two instruments, a Cigar-box slide guitar and a Theremin. I plan to put light sensitive diodes into the neck and also find a way to light up the glass guitar slide. The diodes will sense the light and sends a signal to a circuit board that will process the Theremin sound. Then I will design some kind of control for the Theremin sound so I can blend it with the main signal from the guitar pick-up.

Slide guitar The main theory of the design of the guitar will be based on a traditional cigarbox guitar. Light sensitive Diodes will be placed in the neck that will simulate a Theremin sound. The glass slide will need to illuminate like a flashlight for the sensitive diodes.
