The Kleenex Box Ukulele
by Hunter Torpey
My instrument is called,
“The Kleenex Box Ukulele.” I made it myself. The tools I used included
a Kleenex box, paper towel roll, rubber bands, knife, hot glue gun and
camouflage spray paint that my dad had around the house.
I took the empty Kleenex box
and cut 5 slits on each side with the knife to hold the
rubber bands in place. I picked rubber bands different in widths and
placed them around the Kleenex box.
I hot glued the paper towel roll to the end of the box. After
everything was put together I spay painted my Ukulele with camouflage
pray paint.
After it dried my mom
had a pick that she gave to me too strum my Ukulele with. I can make my
Dynamics loud by strumming hard. I can make my Dynamics soft by
strumming softly. To change the Pitch I strum different rubber bands to
make Pitches High or Low. The Timbre of my instrument sounds twang.
