Question

It is for a science project and you can't use anything store bought you can only use home things.

You have to make it a hard instument. iT CANT BE EASY!!!!

Answer 1

A stick, a string, a coffee can or oatmeal container.

Attach the stick to the side of the coffee can or oatmeal container. Tie a string to the end of the stick. Punch a tiny hole into the center of the base of the coffee can or oatmeal container. Pass the string through the hole. Pull it tight and tie a knot to secure.

Now you have a stringed instrument. You can pluck the string and change the notes by bending back or forward slightly on the stick.

Answer 2

Get some different lengths of fishing wire, and tighten them around some small steel hooks on a wooden board.

This should make a pretty basic string instrument. I made something similar to this back in grade 6. :)

Answer 3

Hi. A musical instrument? Turn a bottle into a whistle by blowing across the top opening and change the pitch by squeezing it.

Answer 4

Can you use a shoe box and rubber bands? Stretch the rubber bands over the shoe box at various tightness then strum like a guitar. Also wax paper, you can make a kazoo. Pots and pans for drums, metal lids for symbols.

Answer 5

Spoons or Saw are the most difficult in my experience.
