My
Didjeridu
My mom and I made a
wax blower for music. First my Grandpa gave us
tubes of wrapping paper. We had to loosen the paper
and pull out the tubes.
My mom helped me pour
wax over the tubes. She used a ladle to scoop the
wax and pour it over them while I turned them. Once
in a while the ladle would fall in the
wax.
We wanted to add
color to the wax blower. Just then we found we had
no paint. So we used crayons. First we melted one
crayon at a time. Then we found cool things to dip
in the wax, but you have to do it fast. Each layer
made a new design.
Sound is produced by
putting your lips against the wax mouth piece. You
blow it like the way a baby would with its lips. It
should sound like a low pitched rumbling sound. It
tickles your lips a lot. It takes a lot of
practice. The harder the instrument is blown the
louder it gets. The pitch is really hard because
you have to use your voice and tongue at the same
time.
