Make Your Own Instruments (Part 1)!!

I decided to try making my own PVC pipe didgeridoo just a few days back. It's probably one of the simplest instruments to make, being just a simple cylinder. But if you're more adventurous, the possibilities are almost limitless! Here are some things I found on the web about making your own instruments:

Let's start with some inspiration:



Here are some interesting sites:

• http://www.philtulga.com/Didgeridoo.html - Didgeritubes?? Where did they get that from? A cross between a panpipe and several didgeridoos!
• http://www.philtulga.com/Panpipes.html - Panpipes - something more conventional
• http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~dl1s-ymgc/tsukur-e.htm - Yokobue - Some kind of Japanese flute
• And a whole load of other odd homemade instruments at http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/. This is the guy behind the video above. Hard to read cos it's all in Courier font, but with detailed instructions.
