(enquadernadors de llautó)
• Scissors
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
1st - Cut a hole around 7 centimeters in diameter slightly off-center on the top of an shoe box.
2nd - Push 12 brass fasteners into the shoe box, placing six on one end and six on the other end. (Space the brass out evenly).
3rd - Cut six rubber bands in half so they become six long rubber band strings.
4th - For each rubber band string, tie one end to a brass, then stretch it across the hole, tying the other end to the opposite brass.
5th - Cut open an empty toilet paper roll, and slip it underneath one side of the strings, lifting them up slightly.
GREEK DRUM
MATERIALS AND TOOLS:– Scissors – Empty container (tub pvc o llauna)
– Waxed paper or packing tape (30 square centimeters) (paper de cera o cinta adhesiva)
– Packing tape or rubber band (cinta adhesiva, corda o gomes)
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
First: Cut a piece of waxed paper of 30 square centimeters.
Second: Place the waxed paper across the opening of an empty container.
Third: Stretch a rubber band across the top of the waxed paper.
Fourth: Pull the waxed paper to make it taut.
PAN PIPE
The pan flute or pan pipe is an ancient musical instrument based on the principle of the closed tube, consisting usually of five or more pipes of gradually increasing length.
MATERIALS AND TOOLS:
- Reeds (canyes)
- A saw
- Clay (argila o plastilina)
- Packing Tape
- Permanent marker
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
1. First:
• You will get a piece of PVC tube or a reed.
• Mark and cut 5 pipes (pieces) with these measurements (in cm):
31 28 25 21 18
2. Second: Close off the end of your pipe putting clay in one end of each pipe. The pipe can only make noise if there is a bottom surface to bounce off of.
Pipe with open end – air just goes out the bottom
Pipe with closed end – air hits to the bottom and begins to vibrate producing a pitch
To close off the end of your pipe:
Take a small piece of clay and drop into pipe that is sitting upright on a piece of paper. Use a stick, to press the clay firmly into the bottom. Twist slightly as you pick up the pipe and check the bottom to be sure the pipe is sealed completely.

Push clay down firmly, without pulling up on pipe.

3. Third: Tape pipes together carefully.
1.Tear off (tallar) a piece of tape at least twice as long as the five pipes are wide.
2.Lay on table sticky side up.
3.Carefully place the pipes on the center of the tape with the open end to the top.
4.Fold (doblegar) tape over the pipes and pull them together tightly. (amb força)
5.Use a permanent marker to label the pipes as shown. You can label on tape or pipe. Be careful to label them correctly. Do is the longest pipe.

How to play your pan pipes • Place the pipes vertically just below your bottom lip. • Blow air down into the pipe. Do this by pulling your bottom lip
back. Practice, without the pipes by trying to blow air onto your chin.
• Be careful to frequently stop trying and breathe naturally so you don’t get light headed.
• DO NOT hold the pipes horizontally. Horizontal
Vertical
