How to Build Aerophone: Homemade Instruments for Kids

Well to build your basic aerophone which is not any different than those big plastic trumpets you see at parades where it goes (makes parade horn noise) you know. It's pretty much the same thing. The thing is of course is getting a mouthpiece that's going to fit for the kids and I find that cutting the end off a water bottle is just fine and of course the miracle of all craft projects duct tape. I think that you can do surgery with duct tape and what we do to make our aerophone your being very patient Maddie one moment. You take our plastic bottle and we stick it to our tube because you need tubes to have air pass through it right? Now what we've got here is a basic aerophone all be it rough and not aesthetically too pleasing right (plays aerophone) Now this probably sounds a lot like an ancient Buken which is an old Roman horn that they used to signal each other during war fare look out there's someone coming (plays aerophone) or hey your horse just made a big mess and my horse stepped in it (plays aerophone again) Right? Yeah it's a way that they could communicate from large distances. There's your aerophones.
