what i learnt from this is i don't listen to enough generic pop music, because i didn't recognise either of them lmao

acoustic guitars have the hole under the strings so if instead of outting one hole in the middle you put 4 on each side Im pretty sure it whould sound better, also if it was made of wood

Should I tell you what the two songs are? Leave your guesses below!

The squaretar is clearly a big success, but imagine one big enough for a cat to fit inside…

“Only eleven notes” Shows us the 12 that actually exist.

The second one was Office intro for sure

"WHICH ONE DOES THE CAT LIKE BEST!" secretly rubs the square one with catnip off cam xD

I'd love to see you put more time into making it sounding better. It's muted and sounds bad from a musical aspect, I think better stringing and maybe changing the material of the wheels to mute the notes less would be great for start

he probably put cat treats inside the squaretar

This is an amazing concept! I wonder if you could put in some pick ups and connect to an amp? I guess you need 4x the pick ups. Some way tune the tension easily for key changes? And changing to CNC cut FR4 front plate might get better rigidity once the design is perfected.

That's a really nice idea :D but I do have some ideas/suggestions: 1. I seen some talk about making 4 holes in the body instead of the one central one. That seems nice to add in if you haven't; not sure if you did lol. 2. What if you made a baritone squaretar that was an octave lower? I bet it would sound interesting at that octave, and perhaps if it's too big to print normally, some parts could connect/interlock or something? Or maybe make an alto/tenor squaretar just a fifth lower? (I'd consider your current one a soprano instrument lol) Not sure what you want to do, but it's just an idea :) 3. I have no idea how frets would turn out on a squaretar, but some way of getting different notes would be interesting if you feel like exploring that, optionally.

I love the clever design, actually quite ingenious to maintain the correct proportions per string to get the 4 chords.

For everyone commenting on the sound hole being beside the strings, this is a standard practice on jazz guitars as well as ovation acoustic guitars.

Love it! 1) would be neat to try 3d printed "bearings". They just need reasonably low friction (add oil?). 2) Would be cool if the tuning pegs were also 3D printed.

That’s actually pretty cool consept

Brilliant! Now you are a popstar

Second one was Let it be by The Beatles. 😂

Not gonna lie. This could have some real life great appliances in school music. This is interesting.

Nice one, I play regular guitar and I know how hard is to learn it but when u just wanna play next to campfire some romantic song to your crush, I believe it will do the job! XD

All jokes aside what an incredible idea. Obviously you are limited to certain songs, but not only would this be incredibly easy to learn but could inspire and motivate those same people to pick up guitar or another instrument with more of a range! This genuinely should be bought up by a music company, many real world applications!! Its main fallbacks are sound (as another commenter has already said) and personally i think the aesthetics are a little goofy. This would be better laser cut i believe, and maybe in a slightly more desirable shape like a diamond!

Maybe the cat picked the squaretar because it looked like a box it could sit in?

It would probably strum better if the strings were closer together. Maybe smaller wheels or metal grommets of some kind?

Brilliant!

I would like you to be encouraged to create a 3d harp, it would be fantastic to see

You should build the instrument with arboform too and test the difference . They use it for instruments too for example flute it sounds like expensive flute from olive wood

Also garageband has the option to use chords just like that in the guitar section but still cool to have real physical object👍

That guitar though 😮

maybe four holes under each set of strings is better than one in the middle. someone else said this in the comments and i just want it to be seen

On behalf of 2SetViolin: "Intonation?"

very greate idea! I wpuld print one if the sound was a bit better ^^

The second one is clearly the opening music in The Office U.S.

I wanna see someone shred on that

Now what if you were to make a smaller version so you pluck with one hand all the notes.

Proud to claim the 1000th like on this vid. I want to print this with the "wood" filament for the aesthetic.

Maybe a handle on the back, like a hand drum?

Is it PLA? Did it last a while I’m trying to decide between PLA and ABS

Did you come up with this idea? Or did you base it on another instrument?

i would like to built this for my niece. do you have the plan available ?

The real question is, does it shred gent, music theory, etc

So it is rather like an autoharp, but with less chords.

Cool bro

Hey, nice idea. But does anybody know the title of the background music at 03:13 until the end? It sounds familiar and like an game- or movie-trailer but I dint remember where I've it heard before😅

No, I can't guess the songs. Why don't you let us know what we heard?

Short answer: no Long answer: noooooo

Harpsichord does basically the same thing

Wow much music

So it's not the Instagram logo

Why is there no holes beside the strings ?

Do be looking like. A hot wheels track ngl

Cats love pla scent duh

Why. That’s easy one. I CANT play a guitar 🎸. Square tar maybe. Lol. Sweet print one. To try.

I hope you patented that monstrosity

Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Let it Be are the songs I hear!

2nd one was knocking on heaven's door by guns and roses

Looks uncomfortable to hold though

Is it Boulevard of broken dreams and Let it be?

why such HUGE bearings/wheels. wouldn't yoyo bearings work better?

Yeah classic example of easier doesn’t mean better

Files arn't avaible on website yet?

but it can only do pop songs, right? so what if I want to play smoke on the water?

0:47 there are 12 notes my man, not 11

Hello Adele was the first one

You lost me when you said pop song, have a good day

The girl was wrong

Perfectly ridiculous!

My name is not on it😶

I don’t know why I expected it to actually sound good. To be clear it doesn’t

Squatar is the dumbest name ever; Quadralyre would’ve been classier. You block and strum to produce a minor therefore it’s a lyre. Please tell me the inventor didn’t name it squaretar.

No the squaretar is sooo Bad in comparrisin to a Guitarr

The sound of that red one Sucked.. Video titl felt like click bait.

Pop music is so bad. Rock music is better!

This is fake

Actually better than a guitar? Dude ease up on your claims

wtf? "any" pop song, same four chords? holy hell, you make quite a lot of bs claims, my friend. please stop.
