Q&A for How to Make a Rubber Band Guitar

Make the rubber bands longer or shorter. You might need several different kinds of rubber bands to do so.

Yes. It won't function as a ukulele (just as this won't be a functional guitar), but you can always use thinner rubber bands for a higher sound.

I used a wood shish kabob stick to push the rubber bands through the holes and then knotted them. It was a bit challenging.

You can't, at least not in the sense of a real guitar. You could lightly press on one of the rubber bands, but otherwise you can't really change it much.

You can try playing closer to one end of the rubber band. You could also change the size of the band or bands.

It isn't a functional guitar, so it really isn't made to play songs. But, you can change the thickness of the rubber bands, and you can play on different sides of the rubber bands for some tonal change.

No. It's not a real guitar. If you want to start a band, get a real acoustic guitar.

Pretty much any store. Dollar stores, WalMart, Target, and most grocery stores have them, most likely in or near the section with office or shipping supplies.

At a dollar store, Walmart, or other grocery store.

They do, but not loudly or in any set tuning.

As long as you don't use too much glue, you shouldn't have an issue with caving.

You can buy it at WalMart, Dollar Tree, Micahel's and pretty much any craft store.

You don't even need to use the tube, it is just for looks. If you really need to use a tube, you could try something flat instead.

Probably not. Rubber bands can't be tuned effectively.

The more you sand it the thinner it gets, and the higher the sound, although if you do it too much, it could snap upon use.
