ONE HANDED DRUM By: Gwyneth F. The name of my instrument is the One-Handed Drum .I got the idea of making my instrument from a website when I was searching for a homemade instrument. The materials used to make it were duct tape, pencil, butter container or a rounded container, string, four beads, and confetti. The tools I needed to use were a knife to poke holes in the side. The steps I use were: 1. Cut three holes in an equalateral triangle. 2. Stick a pencil in side the top of the "triangle" 3. Tie a bead to one side and sick it threw the other holes that are left. 4. Tie the other two beads on the out side and their, you're done! All you have to do is decorate it.  I decorated it with confetti in the middle. You could also decorate it with tape. The instrument family that mine is in is percussion. The beads on the side of it produce my sound. I can make around two sounds; you could do more but its not that much different. The tone quality is a pretty sharp noise. My instrument is loud. The person who helped me with this project was my mom. She helped me tie the beads on. (The strings get very short and thin). The biggest problem with making my instrument was putting on the beads and strings.
