My instrument's name
is the Rattle Snake Shakers. The materials I used
for them were two empty milk jugs, rice, beans,
silk cloth, and different kinds of ribbon. First of
all my Grandma started by showing me how to put on
and glue the silk cloth. Then I tried it and I
finished putting on the silk cloth. Then came the
hard part. My Grandma put on the ribbon on the top
and bottom and I did the ribbon in the middle.
After all that stuff it was time to put in the rice
and the beans. In one shaker I put
in rice and the other one I put in beans. My
Grandma and I both did something but she only did a
little and I did a lot. It took an hour to do both
of the shakers because I had to put on the silk
cloth and let that dry before I could put on the
ribbon with both of them. The sound is produced
by shaking the instruments at the same time. For
dynamics if you want to make it loud shake it
really hard; if you want if soft shake it slow. For
pitch if you shake the rice it has a low pitch and
if you shake the beans it has a high pitch.
For timbre the beans
sound like hail hitting a steel roof and the rice
sounds like someone is pouring rice into a big
bowl. They're also very noisy too. Now you have some
facts about my Rattle Snake Shakers! |
