Product Description

Written for the novice and the accomplished musician, this book provides illustrated plans for building many familiar instruments, including a flute, guitar and hand drum, from unconventional materials, such as plastic tubing, polystyrene foam and heavy cardboard tubing. There are also designs for less familiar instruments, such as an ocarina, a cuica and a bowed psaltery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Making Simple Musical Instruments, March 2, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a good book to make musical instruments for your kids or grand kids. Most of the projects are relatively easy and don't require too many tools.

I would have given it a five but some of the projects are pretty silly.
