THE BOTTLES by Nicolas Ch. The name of my instrument is “The Bottles” because it is made up of bottles. The family my instrument belongs to is percussion because they produce the sound when you beat them. To make my instrument I used 5 bottles, some water, strings and iron rods. To make my instrument first I picked up the 5 bottles, and then I filled them with water at different levels. Then I put the iron rods like a frame, I tied the strings to the frame on one side and to the bottles on the other side. By doing this, my instrument was finished. My father helped me tying the strings to the bottles and doing the frame.
