Katelyn's Milk Jug Strummer I made an instrument that takes after the guitar but is made out of totally different materials. One day I just thought hey, I want to make a guitar for my instrument, but use a milk jug, so I did. I tried making the strings tighter and looser, and figured out that it only makes a sound with tight strings. When I finished putting the strings and handle on I plucked higher up the handle and it made a sound. The Milk Jug Strummer is a very interesting instrument, and it sure is different. My instrument is creative and fun to play. You should try making an instrument. It's fun!
