What are some instruments I can get cheap or easily make?
    #17540797 -

I have an electric guitar and just recently got a computer and just began to record earlier.
Now I want to increase my instrument arsenal.
I think I will either order a didgeridoo or a thumb piano or maybe both.
What other instruments could I get for a fairly cheap price?
The didgeridoo is only $30 & the thumb pianos I am looking at are about $15.
I want a gong but I have no good ways of hanging one right now.
I want chimes but I feel I could make those easily and save some cash... maybe not but I assume I could.
Don't kids make rain sticks or whatever they are called in art or music classes? I think I could probably make a cheap one of them easily.
And maracas can't be too hard to make either... can they?
Anyone have any other ideas?

Ocarina is a cheap yet cool instrument.


...The Hero of Time used the ocarina for a variety of things on his quest to save the world from evil.

Melodicas are pretty cheap and sound good. They use them a lot in dub music, it's a similar idea to a piano accordion except you blow into it.

hands down a melodica. its a harmonica transformed into a piano. you power the harmonica with a hose and play the notes on the piano keys. and they are pretty cheap too. i take it everywhere!

also percussion shakers are cheap and add organic sound. ukuleles are pretty cheap and sound decent, obviously the pricier the better. I bought a wooden flute for $.99 a few years ago that works awesome.

here's some of the stuff that I do. was mostly all instrumental lounge jams but all my friends wanted lyrics so I changed my site up for a bit. enjoy and to OP good luck with the melodies!:radman:

also a GREAT investment is a keyboard/piano. cascio and yamaha i think are two pretty cheap brands (under $100). benefit of one of these is that they have many preset for hundreds of different instruments and sounds. everything i did on those tracks on my page were all done using a keyboard, guitar, and some percussion instruments. when you're broke you just gotta get creative with what you have

I have 2 ocarinas and they are pretty neat/fun instruments. I haven't been about to save the world from evil yet though.

I also want to get a harmonica and a ukelele. I have a guitar and a keyboard already but they were given to me and aren't the cheapest instruments.

I've made quite a few flutes before. They're relatively easy to make and sound great when playing.

If you have any local Fair-Trade stores, like 10,000 Villages or something, they tend to carry a WIDE-array of acoustic instruments, and CHEAP

as well as Didji's, Thumb-Piano's and Rain Sticks... some as tall as you!

Take a kleenex box, duct tape a ruler to one end, span a few elastics across the ruler to the other side of the box and you have a guitar mothafucka.

I made good use of elementary school as you can see.

I decided that for now I am going to order a didgeridoo & melodica instead of didgeridoo & thumb piano (I think)
In the near future, I want to buy a
Theremin, ocarina, thumb piano, harmonica, tambourine, penny whistle & bongos... & somehow we all forgot the xylophone, but I want to get one of those too.
But for now, I'm just using up an amazon.com gift card I got for Christmas that another thread reminded me about last night.
Thanks for all the suggestions :discodance:
