We built three instruments (one wind, one string, and one percussion) using scrap materials we could find on campus. We chose to build a whistle, a zither, and a shaker. The whistle was the most complicated and difficult to make, but we think it turned out the best. Since the zither’s strings are paracord, they don’t resonate very well, and neither does the wooden box we glued together. And for the shaker we went for a metallic sound by filling an aluminum can with screws, nuts, and washers.
