Merry-Go-Round Magic
My Mom and I made my
instrument. My instrument is named Merry-go-Round Magic. My
Mom helped me staple the yarn to the plate so I wouldn't get
hurt. It took a long time to make my instrument. It took 2
hours. I used paper plates, yarn, washers, markers, tape, TP
rolls, chop sticks, and crochet needles. The sound is produced by
tapping the washers with the chop sticks or crochet
hook. The dynamics of the sound can
be changed by taking the top plate off and shaking it hard
or soft. The pitch can be changed by hitting the little
washers for a high pitch. If you hit a bigger washer the
pitch will be low.
