THE ALEC FIDDLE By Alec A.   My instrument is called the Alec Fiddle. I got the idea from the drums. My instrument is from the percussion family. One interesting thing about my instrument is it has lots of beats and pitches. It has four different pitches.   I used a water tank, paint, spray paint, a maraca and a wooden spoon to make my instrument. I got these things from my kitchen and my garage.   I made my instrument by taping a maraca to the top of the water tank and painting it. My Mom helped me with my instrument. The big problem I had making my instrument was putting it together.
