Music is the essence of life and I believe that nobody is untouched with this wonderful gift given to humanity. Even kids also love to play music and enjoy it when they get a chance to do so. For this, you need numerous expensive musical instruments but what if you make your own music instruments at your home with little efforts? It is a fun and affordable idea to make Gongs, xylophones, hummers and triangles for children to play.
1. To create a Gong, you will need an old pie tin or a lid of a big metal popcorn tin, a metal table knife or spoon for a mallet, a hammer and nail, a string. You need to pound 2 nail holes on the edge of the pie tin or on the side of the popcorn lid 2 or 3 inches apart. Thread the string through the holes and tie a knot. The string ought to be about 1 to 2 feet long enough to ensure that you can very easily hold it without touching the pan or tin. Strike the pan with the spoon or knife and you've got a loud sound. To soften the sound, you need to wrap the knife or spoon with a piece of cloth and then use a child socks to cover the knife or spoon.
2. To make a Xylophone, you need glass pop bottles of same size after which shape work best for a homemade xylophone and for this purpose, water glasses shall also work. Fill the glasses with different amount of water wherein one bottle ought to be almost filled to the top and the other one with very little water. The other bottles ought to differ somewhere in between the two. You can make use of as many or less bottles as you want. A knife or spoon would wok well as a mallet. Hit the side of the bottle or glass lightly since each one will make a different sound. You can even try out different levels of water to determine which note pitch you want most. If you have a piano or other musical instrument which shall make various pitches then you can tune your bottles or glasses to the instrument.
3. Making a hummer is also extremely easy where you need to have an empty cardboard toilet paper or paper towel tube, a rubber band and a wax paper. Cut a round piece of wax paper that's larger than the ends of the tube. Cover one end with the wax paper and hold in place with the rubber band and create sounds into the opposite end of the tube.
4. You can also make a triangle with the help of a horseshoe or 4 to 8 inches of metal pipe, string and a knife or spoon. Loop the string at the curve of the horse shoe or thread it through the pipe. Tie a knot on the top and hit the horse shoe or pipe with the knife the moment it dangles from the sting. Make sure that the string is sturdy enough to hold the pipe.
