More musical stuff at this year’s Rice Elementary Science Night!
Introducing the Carrot-Turnip Piano
Constructed from an Arduino Micro, voltage divider circuit, a very old laptop and a few vegetables this ‘instrument’ could make all kinds of musical sounds as well as various embarrassing noises, which of course the kids loved.
Home built instrument trio
From left to right we have a cuíca, a Rebab and a cigar box guitar.
Homemade straw flute table
I did this last year, it seems to be popular so here it is again.
Big Bass Banjo in the corner
The banjo is so big and weird, why not include it with the rest of the music makers!
Who out there can play a theremin?
Many have tried. Here is my old model Termin-Vox with the sculls mounted on top why not? Also, there is an old TV on the right that operates like a poor man’s oscilloscope.
Something about physics
This was something I cooked up at the last minute. It’s a spinning Helmholtz Resonator experiment and it actually WORKS!
