Let’s play Apollo’s cithara

The kithara (or cithara) was an ancient Greek musical instrument.
The kithara was a seven-stringed instrument used by professional musicians.It was made of wood and it was very heavy.
Don’t worry, our cithara will be a light one!

You need:

  • Cardboard or styrofoam;
  • Scissors;
  • Twine;
  • Black felt-tip pen.
  1. Download the image of Apollo’s cithara;
  2. Cut it off;
  3. Place it above the cardboard or above the styrofoam and draw the perimeter by a black marker;
  4. Cut off the silhouette (pay attention!);
  5. Make 5 holes at the bottom and on the top;
  6. Insert the twine.

We don’t guarantee  the quality of the sound.
