The Jinglin' Janglin' Chimes Guess what? I made an instrument called "The Jinglin', Janglin' Chimes." I made my instrument by using EMT conduit that my Dad had in our pole barn. While my Mom held the tape measure, I used a pencil to mark each section the length I wanted. My Dad let me use his pipe cutter to cut the EMT. After I cut each piece, I used sand paper to make the ends smooth. My dad drilled holes in each piece of EMT while I watched. My Mom found some fish line in her craft things. I used a ruler to measure the fish line to the length I wanted. Then I threaded the fish line through each drilled hole and tied a knot at the top. I found an embroidery hoop, paints, paintbrushes, varnish, wire, and a key chain ring in my Mom's crafts things. I chose bright pink, yellow, royal blue, and green paint. I painted each section of the hoop a different color, letting each section dry before I changed colors. After the hoop was completely dry, I used varnish to make the hoop shiny. My Mom helped me bend the wire around the hoop and I used the key chain ring to make a hanger. I tied each piece of EMT to the hoop using the fish line. My mom used hot glue to glue each knot in place. It took about three days to complete my instrument. I use a short piece of EMT to tap the pipes to produce the sound. The sound can also be produced by the pipes clanging together themselves. Either tapping the pipes hard for a loud sound or lightly for a softer sound can change the dynamics. In order to change the pitch, I tap the shorter pipes for a higher sound and the longer pipes for a lower sound. When the pipes clang together themselves the timbre is jangling and discordant, meaning the combination of the musical sounds strike the ear harshly. When I strike the pipes myself, the timbre is tinkly and jingling and the sound seems to stretch out.
