Ocean in the Strings

I reached out both hands and gave the thickest guitar string a solid tug, and WHOA—the whole wooden corner buzzed to life! The deep, vibrating thrum rattled right up through my fingers and shook my oversized hoodie. I immediately plopped my purple yarn buddy onto the smooth wooden bridge so he could get a full-body sonic massage, giggling as he vibrated in a tiny circle. Then I pressed my ear flat against the glossy soundboard to listen. Inside, the lingering hum sounded just like a giant, gentle ocean wave rolling through a hollow cavern. I tapped the wood gently, letting the mellow rhythm soak right in.
