Ideophone

I was sitting around my room wondering what I could make my instrument out of. I have been fairly sick lately so the trash can is definitely out of the question. Since I had no readily available supplies to work with, I searched my room looking for something to make an instrument with. I found my self with 2 of my partially empty cologne bottles. I also wanted a container that was empty but sturdy so I used a mason jar. Now that I had some high keys to play, I wanted some lower tones to play. I enlisted the help of my hair care products, lol. I was reaching an octave and wanted a unique sound. I saw a light bulb for my lamp- all I had to do was stabilize it. I used the top of the mason jar and some other knick-knacks from my room. It somewhat resembles a snare drum but higher pitched. Accompanied by my hair brush, the saga is complete. 2 cologne bottles, 2 jars/bottles of hair stuff, a brush, and a light bulb are the pieces to my ideophone. Sorry I couldn't upload a pic. My phone is worthless.
