Silly Shaker

My instrument is called the Silly Shaker. It looks silly and I call it a shaker because I shake it to make it produce sound. It is easy to use.

My mom, Maddison and I went to the IGA to get bug-juice bottles for my Silly Shaker. Then my grandma bought colored electrical tape. After I drank the bug juice, I washed them out and let them dry. After that I filled one with beans, and popcorn kernels. Next I found a stick and put it in the opening of both my bottles. Now I had some silly shakers.

The pitch of the kernels is high and the pitch of the beans is low. The dynamics of the kernels are soft and the dynamics of the beans are medium. The timbre of my instrument sounds like hail.
