How can I make a bamboo saxophone?
In Science Olympiad, there is a section called "Sounds of Music" in which you must make your own musical instrument and then play a song on it. I would like to make a bamboo saxophone, but I can't find good step-by-step instructions for one. Can somebody please tell me where I can find instructions for making a bamboo saxophone?
I realize it will be very difficult, but I want to actually see the instructions before I give up, so please, PLEASE, if anyone knows where I can find some good instructions on how to make one, PLEASE let me know.
There is some information in this discussion: http://www.bamboocraft.net/forums/showthread.php?p=6465
but most of the information at the link is in French. I can tell you it will be tricky if you've never made any instrument before- working out where to put the holes takes a lot of skill. If you really want to try one, I would first get a piece of bamboo first thing you must do is take a long drill and drill the inside to make it into a tube. I would then borrow a Recorder (a kind of flute, if you don't know it look it up) and I'd drill the holes into the bamboo spacing them like the recorder. For the mouthpiece I'd get a saxophone mouthpiece, or even a clarinet mouthpiece- the "Bamboo Saxophone" I heard did not sound very much like a sax. Anyhow, trying for a Bamboo Clarinet would be a good first step, certainly an easier one. Might take several tries before you get something that is even close to in tune.
