Connor, OK | Straw Oboe
Connor taped straws together to make them longer. The sound was very deep and low, like a bassoon. We cut straws to make higher sounds. The result was our own band! We had giggles and fun experimenting with the differences in sound and making predictions of what might happen if we bend the straws, etc. Thanks for the great idea!
