    Very cute project for kids. I am afraid not so great for neighbors... Well, we should keep it at daylight, right? Thanks;-)

    I had some science homework that was to make a musical instrument. I had NO CLUE what to make, and so I quickly searched Google for ideas. This website had the best ideas by far, so I'd like to thank you for that. I decided to make the trumpet, and I'll notify you how it goes (about to make it). Graceyy x

    Thankyou! you just saved my life! I need this for my science homework!!!
  • alexkazam Oct 15, 2010 @ 6:21 am | delete
    Great ideas- though, a drum and a trumpet could make some ear piercing noises, so not something to do in an enclosed space! The trumpet also sounds funny if the hose is unrolled and spun whilst it's being played!

    Nice lens! I was helping pre school age kids how to make a craft which was a homemade trumpet. All you need is a plastic 2 liter soda bottle, a toilet paper tube, a rubber band, waxed paper, masking tape, and decorations. What you do is stretch the waxed paper over the mouth of the soda bottle, band it with the rubber band, put the paper towel tube on, tape it with masking tape, and decorate it. It works exactly like a kazoo.
