OKay, now I'm going to show you one that's made out of bamboo. Look at this thing. This has a really nice sound too. This one is made by drying out the bamboo and poking holes through all the dividing sections that normally would close that up in there. Poking holes through all those, putting the beans in, and then the beans go from one section to the next, draping down and making a beautiful sound as it goes. Listen. Pretty nice, huh? Go the other way. See, you can keep it going indefinitely if you use the turning motion that I explained earlier and levering back and forth. Watch. (Audio demo) We can go on for days like that. But you don't have to worry; you won't drive your neighbors crazy with this instrument.
