I made the instrument using plastic pipe, ribbons, gold gift wrap paper and a funnel. I attached the plastic pipe to the funnel. Then I put the ribbons around the pipe and taped the ribbons. It helps others because it is like a microphone and you can make loud sounds and low sounds to call someone or play with the instrument.

The instrument works if you make a sound at the hole in the pipe. Then listen to it on the funnel’s end and then you will hear the sound. I got my supplies from Osh and Michael’s. I created my instrument because I have always wanted to use a microphone and I thought I should make this instrument since it is a little bit like a microphone. I named it Funatone because you can make fun sounds and tones.

What I made it from: 2 stands, a long stick, a small stick, wire, a wooden ring, a biscuit tin, a wreath hook, a flower tin, and 2 hooks.

How I made it: I attached the long stick and the wooden ring to the top of the stands with string. Inside the ring I attached the biscuit tin with string also. Then, I put the wreath hook on the wooden ring with the short stick attached to it. At the bottom of the stands I attached the flower tin with wire and 2 hooks.

How it works: When I hit the biscuit tin, it moves the wooden ring. Since the wreath hook is attached to the ring, it swings back and forth. When the hook swings, it hits the flower tin.

Name of instrument: Fred-it is a Freestanding Recycled Educational Device

It will help children in a classroom know when they must be quiet and listen to their teacher. It also gives hours of pleasure for children without an ipod. I took sprinkler pipes and made a frame to hold up the cans. We spray painted the pipes. We attached the cans to the pipes with string. I then placed paper items into the cans to create different sounds. This is a percussion instrument. All materials were recycled and are recyclable

The name of my musical instrument is called The Call-drum. I made the Call-drum because it is a cauldron inside of a box and because it sounds like a drum. The way my Call-drum works is you take a lever from the back of the box and turn it to hear the sound. But first you need to take your right or left hand. Next your pointer and middle finger and lightly tap the side of the Call-drum and then you have a sound. In addition, you can turn the lever in different ways and make different sounds. The way I made the Call-drum was I took the leather luggage bag and put it around the Cauldron and tightened it. Then I took wood and made a box around it. Then I took two circle pieces of wood and it into a lever. The Call-drum is made out of a bucket which is shaped like a Cauldron. The surrounding piece is a wooden box with a lever also made out of wood. The Call-drum’s cover is a leather luggage bag.

How my Quint Drum work is that they are different size tubes. Each of them make different sounds. To make the sounds you tap the metal top with a wooden stick. How I made my drums was to use 5 Pringle cans that I cut to different lengths. Each one is 1 ½-2” shorter than the first one. Then, I glued the cans to a board from longest to smallest. Then I spray painted the whole thing and put on the decorations. I made my Quint Drums just for fun. I thought a different kind of drum would be cool.

The Spoon Dangler can let babies learn what a wind chime would sound like, without the wind chime. They also know the name and they could ask for it if they want to play it.

The name of my instrument is called the “Cuba.” I was able to make this instrument by using a coil of my dad’s copper piping. I made this instrument for fun and found it makes a funny noise like a tuba and brings a smile to people’s faces. Coil the copper pipe into a circle and attach the copper fitting for your mouthpiece. Now play!

My music project is a Sparkly Guitar. It has rubber bands for the strings. The paperclips are to hold the strings down. The sparkles are just for decoration. The ribbon is also for decoration.

I got a plaque of wood. Then I cut out 2 circles. I painted it red and blue. Then I let it dry. I had to drill a hole in the little balls so it could make sound. After that I put nails and strings and that’s how I made my door harp.

The Centipede works if you shake it. You can shake it up, down, side to side, on your shoulder, and even like a pony. I built The Centipede with a skinny rectangular piece of wood. I used a cordless screw driver to put the Philip screws, the washers, and the brackets in the wood, and a clear canister at the head with more washers and anchors to make more noise. It can help someone if that person is in quick sand and they need something to grab onto, or if there were mean animals around the sound may scare them away.

I made the Trojan Bass out of wood, nails, paint, metal and stickers. I named it Trojan Bass because when I went to the Rose Bowl Game I saw the Trojan marching band with guitars.

The violarum is a very unique instrument. This instrument is meant to be plucked like a harp and bowed like a violin. What inspired me to do this kind of instrument is that my grandpa used to play the violin and I love the harp. The edges are purple with a blue voverboard. It has clothes hangers to keep the strings in place. There are twelve strings on a violarum, and twelve tuning pegs. The violarum benefits all people who love to play music. With an upbeat tune and a piano, the violarum sounds perfect.

I thought of my project when I was eating lunch at 'Island's' with my grandma. I was looking at a tiki umbrella when I thought about making my instrument. The tiki umbrella made me think of hot gluing fake grass onto a bamboo pole and then tying silver bells to it. My instrument made me think of Christmas on a beach. It sounds like wind chimes on a beach. My instrument helps people by reminding them about how it feels to be on a nice relaxing beach.

My imaginary instrument is a Keytar, a keyboard and a guitar put together. My Keytar is made out of foam, fabric, wire and bells. My keytar is very convenient for all people. This instrument has three instruments put together. The three instruments are guitar, keyboard and bells, but my bells are just a regular piece of wire.

I made it out of pipes. I got the pipes from my dad's garage and stuck them together. Then my dad drilled holes in the pipe.

My instrument would benefit any 2nd grader and under because it is much easier to learn how to play it, unlike real drums. Also, it's easier for kids to reach and it's very colorful which kids would like. I made my instrument by first putting a lot of bells in the smallest drum, so when you hit it, it makes a lot of noise. Next, I filled the blue drum with a little bit of bells so it would make a different sound. Then I glued plates to both of those drums to keep the bells in them. Then I glued them to a foam board. I left the last big drum empty and glued it to the foam board. Finally, I glued the fabric to the drums and glued the puff balls to the board. To make the drum make noise you have to hit the top of the drum.

1. I got two old egg-shaped toys from my brother's toy box.
2. I made a hole on one side of each toy.
3. I put some beans (five beans) inside each plastic egg.
4. I used food sticks from the kitchen as holders of the plastic eggs.
5. I used scotch tape to close the parts together.
6. I used colored papers to decorate.

I glued a long piece of wood onto a box, took metal and fishing strings, tied them to two different kinds of screws, and put it all together. Then I spray painted and painted it. Just to make it fun I glued some google eyes onto it. No, it doesn’t really help people, but it’s just an easier way to make a guitar.

My instrument is called a Neck Shine. It benefits everyone from ages 1-100. I got a towel bar and cut it in to four different lengths. I then drilled holes so a string could go through. Then you put it on your neck and shake.

These drums make different sounds because of the length of the pipes. If I tap on the large one it will make a low sound. If I tap on the medium one it will be a little higher. The last one has the highest sound because it is the thinnest one. These drums are different because they are made of pipes and plastic tops, and they make different sounds from any other drums.

My instrument is named the Clinger because it claps and rings at the same time. It’s very loud. You can use it with one hand or you can have one in each hand. It is made for any person who enjoys music. A play producer would like it because it sounds good for background sounds. Circus people would use it because it makes noise and you can throw it up and twirl it around. The instrument is available in many colors. It makes people excited and people of all ages find it easy to use. It will never require maintenance. Using it and having fun is the only requirement.
