Woodwind Instrument

A woodwind instrument is a musical instrument which produces sound when the player blows air against a sharp edge or through a reed, causing the air within its resonator (usually a column of air) to vibrate. Most of these instruments are made of wood but can be made of other materials, such as metals or plastics.

How do I make a woodwind instrument using household items?
Q. It's a project for school and it must make at least three distinct sounds by blowing and covering holes or operating keys. It also must be made of at least three different items. I'm willing to read any instructions, tips, suggestions, ideas, etc. that you may have. Thanks!
Asked by ZOMBIE NATION - Wed Nov 7 01:22:35 2007 - Hobbies & Crafts - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Not necessarly a household item but get a fresh branch off a tree, not a tiny one but one you can work with. Tap it gently with something to loosen the bark and slip it off without breaking it. With something sharp, cut a tapering wedge (it doesn't have to be deep or wide just enough to allow for the holes you will make later.) down the length of the wood. Cut round holes evenly spaced in the bark and slip it back onto the wood. Depending on how long the branch is and how many holes you cut you should have several note of music.
