Bassy guitar and pickups ?

Hello, I wanna make guitar what deafs and hearing impaired can also enjoy.

Deafs can feel vibrations. Hearing impaired depends on how much is hearing

loss or they have ear implant .

Seome hearing impaired persons can hear loud or very loud sounds.

I know someone who as implant in one ear and with second ear she listens something from headphone. A nother girl I know has implants in both ears. I don't know how much she can enoy music. I have read that listening music with implants is hard. Newer implants makes music more enjoyable.

Thanks to the electricity things are more easyer.

I was thinking something like a lowebow and diddleybow..

One idea is to make 1 or 2 string bass guitar.

Second idea is to make something like a lowebow.

1 bass string and 3 lowest guitar strings.

Third idea is to make bass what I can play like a guitar

or someting between bass and guitar.

If I can buy lowebow and it's not to expensive for me

I can make something more original. My problem is that I live in estonia.

First I need to make pickups.

I have some magnets.

I bought 1$ pedometer. It was badly surprising that it's was too simpel.

I don't know where to solder wires to make it counter. I think I can't.

Luckily I have calculator what I can make to counter.

theres a small pendulum inside the pedometer, a swingin part..

when it swings right over it completes a circuit which causes the counter to increment. you need to solder a wire to each end of that switch there, so when you touch them together the counter increments by one. then pop your reed switch in between those two wires at the other end so each time a magnet swings past it increments. good luck :)
