Pete, that is exactly what I need, but I am not spending $35 for plans. I don’t even plan to invest $35 in the project. Peter, It is funny that you mention letting her do this project herself. I get a kick out of going to school and seeing the projects that some of these “kids” make. One that comes to mind in particular is her fifth grade build a working volcano project. I recall seeing this massive volcano one of the “girls” had made. It was on a 3×3 sheet of plywood, and was stunningly beautiful with acrylics, and I don’t know what all… my daughters volcano was dwarfed, but it was at least still largely her project. This is now an eighth grade project, and the requirements are quite demanding. My suggestion was to take a couple sticks to beat together and call it a percussion instrument. Nope, that ain’t gonna fly. Each type of instrument (strings, woodwind, percussion, etc.) has specific requirements. A tongue drum sounded like a good option because I think we can do it, and not have to make it be in tune. If I cut the blanks for her, she can use a scroll saw to cut the tongues, and glue it up herself. Bakerman – I have never heard of a bull-roarer. It is a unique idea, but I don’t think it would be a practical instrument because of the spinning hazzard. The simple whistle project sounds fun. I am not sure if it would fit the bill, but it would be fun regardless. I will send you contact info. Thank you. |
