this is the hardish part. we're going to make the apparatus on the back. first, get a large, round piece of wood. I found an old piano leg, so I used that. you need to drill holes for strings, axle, and pin (to keep it from turning).

the hole for the axle is drilled straight through. I would reccomend using a drill press. I don't have one. my axle is crooked. get my point?

the holes for the pins go in the sides. you might want to make a few, because you never know what position your cylinder might end up in.

the holes for the strings are drilled at an angle. they are this way because it causes less stress for the strings.

sorry about the ms schematics, this step took both hands. also, I forgot to take pictures.
