Musical Instruments

We are making musical instruments for our Takahe class band.
First we had to bring in all the equipment that we needed to make our instrument. Lots of us have had to do experiments to see if we could make a better noise.
For my instrument I taped 8 straws together. After I was allowed to decorate the tape. Everyone put effort into them and I think the Takahe class band will be great!
