Make a Reed Instrument from a Drinking Straw Part 2

I think you meant to say it sounds like a "didgeridoo". It sounded like you said a didgetytoo. Just wanted to point that out so if you ever talk about a didgeridoo in class, you dont misslead the kids on what it is ACTUALLY called.

you could probably make a "oboe" out of that not a wonderful sounding one but it is still a double reed

Thanks for this video, I'm going to try this out with my class! The girl at 2:09 sounds like she's playing John Coltrane.

This reminds me of when I tried to play a friend's sax...I got that terribly squeaky noise. Hand me just about any brass instrument and I'll make good tone...hand me a reed instrument...well...that's another story...haha

There are hunting workshops on learning how to make an elk call with a drinking straw just like this.

@jer623 I just looked at some elk calling videos and I can see how that might work.

Haha, the f...nice video...i loved making the part with the two sliding parts, uber fun :D, but when you were cutting the straw n your finger had the bandaid on, i thought it was a fake finger i was like 0_0....then i used my tired eyeballs and realised....lul

how many holles do you have to make

[sciencetoymaker]

Start with just a few--4 or 5--then experiment.
