Do you mean harder or softer? Plucking hard means putting a lot of force and energy into the pluck. The opposite is to p[luck gently....

pluck it harder or softer, or use different materials to pluck it with ie make a plectrum out of plastic or soft cardboard. Also, you could use a microphone to make it louder!

Yes,any string or fishing line will do. Nick

First of all, have you tightened the string by twisting the dowel? I explain how to make different sounds and a simple three note melody between 5 and 6 minutes into the video. Keep it simple, and don't expect too much from the instrument. As long as you're making different sounds and rhythms and keep smiling and relaxed your class and teacher are bound to be impressed!

The stretched string vibrates when you pluck it. This causes the bottle (soundbox) to vibrate, which leads to the air vibrating so you can hear the sound.
Stretch the string tighter, by turning the dowel at the top, and the
pitch becomes higher. Turn it in the other direction to make the pitch lower.
Hope this helps you to get going - make sure you think some more about it and add some stuff of your own!
