This simple toy sounds like a swarm of bees.

Build a cuíca—a musical instrument—and play with vibrations.

Wrap a string around your head and pluck to play music.

Listen to the sound of rain falling—anytime, anywhere.

Get Bach to the fundamentals.

Play songs by banging a PVC pipe against your palm.

Hold a seashell to your ear to hear a steady roar.

Make beautiful music with sticks, straws, and rubber bands.

Two lips make sound.

This surprising instrument is fun to make—and even more fun to play.
