I only had a few minutes to play today, and my first attempt at an instrument today broke, so here’s a teeny tiny little wooden whistle. It sounds like this.
I’m proud of myself for drilling a 1/8" hole in a 1/4" dowel without breaking it!
A whistle made from an eggshell, fimo clay, and a straw. It sounds like this.
With my egg and the earlier turnip whistle, I tried poking some holes in the body to make an ocarina, but I found that it just stops whistling unless I cover the holes. On the other hand, the soda can ocarina worked just fine, relatively speaking. Are there any ocarina experts out there who can shed some light on this?
Can I make another musical instrument every single day of the month? We’ll see if my head explodes first.
Today: An ocarina made from a coke can, straw, and poster gum. It sounds like this.
Yesterday I went to a whistle workshop, so today I thought it was time to make a whistle out of a walnut shell.
On the inside there’s a piece cut from another walnut shell which directs air from the hole at the end up to the fipple.
It sounds like this:
