ME

Picture
Here is me with my instrument NOT DECORATED!!!!!  This is my whistle and its played by blowing into different bottles to make different sounds.  All I needed was wood, glue, five water bottles, markers, water and pipe cleaners to put around the top of the bottles.  Lastly, I had problems with the water bottles because they were not tuned or glued.  To fix these problems, I glued them in place and then I went to Online Instrument Tuners.com and I tuned my whistle there.  In conclustion   my  indivisual  part  was  my  solo  while  everybody  was  either  fist  pumping,  moving  there  arms  around  and  around,  or  swawing  back  and  forth.    

African Instrument

Picture
This is a Slit Gong otherwise known as an African drum, this monumental Slit Gong is in the form of an animan, perhaps a brushcow, is carved from a single piece of wood.  A Slit Gong is an idiophone, a wooden drum without a drumhead.  This is from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  Ownership of elaborately Slit Gongs was widespread among Chiefs in North Central Congo and Southern Central African Republic.  It was made in the late 19th-(early) 20th century.  Did you know that it was used for transmitting messages over long distances, and talking in a certain language?  The only symbol in the thin line around its back.  The only question I have is that , How did this become an instrument?
