SODA STRAW SAXOPHONE

You can make your own double reed instrument out of a soda straw. Cut one end of a drinking straw to a point. You have created two reeds. If you hold them almost closed with your lips and blow, they will begin to vibrate. Cup your hands over the end of the straw and you change the tone. A shorter straw produces a higher note. Make a slide trombone out of two straws that fit snugly together.
