FRUITS AND VEGETABLES!
In class I was able to carve out the center of both an apple and a carrot, after each had a cylindrical hollow center I carved small circular holes that would serve as keys to alter the pitch of each note that my fruit and vegetable instruments would make. Each of these instruments can accommodate both brass and woodwind mouthpieces. In my testing of the instruments i used a bass clarinet mouthpiece and also a french horn mouthpiece (the french horn being my main instrument). My favorite combination is going to have to be the bass clarrotnet. I had an excellent time making these delicious instruments.

FIRST POST!
Well for my 20% project (20% of the time that i spend in band will be dedicated to this project similar to the way google allows their employees to spend 20% of their time on a project of their choosing) I will be making instruments. Although there are some people that believe i am not capable of making functioning instruments i have complete confidence in myself and know that i will succeed. Im extremely excited, and READY TO MAKE SOME INSTRUMENTS!
