K. My instrument is a musical "Be-Boppin' Santa". He is
made out of a toy Santa which I stuffed into a hole cut in
the top of a shoe box. Then I wrapped the shoe box in red
wrapping paper and put a black sparkling sticker around his
waist to be his belt. I cut a hole in Santa's stomach and
put rubber bands across it. You can strum the rubber bands and get a guitar sound.
I used different sizes of ruber bands to get different
sounds. The rubber bands vibrate as you strum them. Some
make high pitches and some make low pitches. I cut a hole on
Santa's left side, then on the right, and used a paper towel
roll cut in half to make Santa's arms. I filled the arms
with rice. You can shake him and the rice moves around and
you get another type of sound. This sound is a loud
tamborine sound.
