Build a Band

Build a band was 

The instrument I chose was a slapphone.  Slaphone is like a chime and a drum in one.  The slapphone is a very easy DIY instrument to make.  A slaphone is an instrument where when wind is pushed through the pipes a note will come out.  Different pipe sizes make different notes, the longer the pipe the lower the note is.  Where the shorter the pipe is the higher the note is.  The length  of the pipe is ¼ of the wavelength, so the wavelength is 4 times the pipe length.  The hard thing was trying to figure out if the pipe was in tune.  If it wasn’t I had to cut another pipe again.  The pipes when glued on had to be higher than the supporting wood piece because the flip flop was having a hard time hitting the pipes.
