Product Description

Have a hankering for an Appalachian dulcimer? A Celtic harp? Anyone can make—and play—these great musical instruments. Make sophisticated versions out of wood, or fun and easy shoebox zithers and bleach bottle banjos. It’s simple to craft recorders, slide whistles, or percussive claves (rhythm sticks.) Here are instructions for, and color photographs of, more than 50 instruments that range from board xylophones to thumb pianos to hoop drums. Includes instructions for tuning, and advice on wood, tools, and glue.
