I really liked them, they were made of wood, but they were also €30. So i took a few pictures and decided that i'd try and make one when i got home.
When i got home i read that they were either made of wood or clay. Clay was easier and faster so i decided to start with that.
I made the basic shape then cut it in half.
I hollowed out the inside then used two different drill bits to make the holes. Although this one looks terrible it sounds really cool.
For my second try i decided to roll a flat piece of clay then wrap it around a carrot i dug up from the garden. The shape looked a lot better.
Then i cut it in half and took out the carrot that i had wrapped in seran wrap.
Then i made the mouthpiece and let it dry for a day.
I screwed it up a bit by letting it dry too much. I had to make a new mouthpiece but still had problems in joining it to the already hardened body. But it seems to be alright now. This one has a lower tone to it.
