Making a Woodwind instrument
| 6 |

experiment, you will need;
|
Flatten one end of the straw and cut it into a
triangular shape, effectively producing a double reed. Moisten it and blow gently

it off with the scissors and the pitch of the note should rise. You have produced a
primative Woodwind instrument.
