The Strombowie is The name of my instrument.
My dad helped me think of the Strombowie. My
instrument is string and percussion. My instrument
is a long piece of wood and metal bucket put
together. It can send low pitches or high pitches.

To make this instrument you will need some
long string a long piece of wood a bucket some
screws a eye bolt and a hinge. I found these
materials in my dads workshop. An eye bolt is a big
bolt with a hole at the top of the bolt. A hinge is
what makes the door swing.

First, you get a metal bucket. Then screw the
hinge on the metal bucket. Then you screw a piece
of wood whatever length you choose onto the hinge.
Then you get some string and an eyebolt and you put
you put the eyebolt in the center of the bucket.
Then you tie the string through the eyebolt. Then
on the higher end you bring up the string tie the
top of the piece of wood. Attach the string to the
eyebolt . There you have the Strombowie.

To play the Strombowie to must pluck, push or
pull the string. You can change the pitch by making
the string get tighter and tighter. The second way
to play is to bang on it with drum sticks.

The thing I liked about making it was I got
to pluck the string about 100 times. I learned that
you can get hurt with an instrument. My reaction to
this project was I felt happy.
