I saw the idea for my instrument on a piece
of paper. My instrument family is percussion. It
sounds low in pitch. I used a coffee can so I put a
card board paper over it and colored it with blue
color pencil. The word Bango I under lined with
black marker.

I used a coffee can, a white piece of paper
and a marker and color pencil. I found the coffee
can in Ms. Rexford's room.

I built my instrument by taking a piece of
paper, put it around the coffee can, then closed
the coffee can so the paper won't come out. Then I
cut the paper. Then I took marbles and put them in
there so the thing can make chatting sounds. Next I
took a cardboard paper and wrapped it around it.
Then I wrote Bango around it and decorated it with
hearts, dots and lines. An adult didn't help me. I
didn't make anything by my self I just got stuff
and put it together to make an instrument. When I
was doing the paper part I had to take it out so I
could put the marbles in so it can make that
chatting sound. Then I had to put the thing back
on. I had a hard time putting it back on because
the paper went in when it was supposed to stick
out.

You can play the instrument by using your
hands or a stick. To make it be loud you need to
put a lot of marbles in it. To make it be a soft
sound make a hole in the coffee can and take away
some marbles. You can play my instrument three
ways: you can hit it on the top, slide it on the
top, and hit it on the bottom. The bottom makes a
higher pitch than the top and the top makes a lower
pitch than the bottom.

My reaction was that making the instrument
was going to be easy. I like hitting and plucking
the instrument when it's done. I learned that the
instrument looks so cool and has different pitches
and volume.
