This game is very easy to play. All you have to do is type in the name of a musical instrument but you must do it in alphabetical order or it throws the whole game out.
Good luck and have fun.
So I'll set the ball rolling with the letter A:
Accordion
Next letter B
B for Bassoon.
d for dijeridoo
E for Ekpiri (percussion instrument)
Rattles made from dried seeds which are strung on a rope handle. I use one of these along with a thunder tube on "Riders On The Storm" by The Doors to get that rain and thunder effect..............
F for flute
G is for Guitar
H is for hautbois (an archaic name for the oboe)
I for Ishaka (another percussion instrument)
.....A gourd filled with several different types of seeds.
J is for Jug (as in Jug Bands)
Got to follow Jug with Kettle..as in Kettle drums
K is for Kalimba
...it's in the percussion family and is also know as the African Thumb Piano, very cool little instrument!
L is for Lute
M is for Mandolin
N is for Nakers Percussion Station
This is a really cool set-up. It's like a make-shift home- made drum kit made from raw products of nature. It's used mainly in African and World Beat music. Peter Gabriel's drummer uses this get-up in "The Last Temptation Of Christ" soundtrack.
The inspiration for the Nakers set came from a sound sculpture creation from American Percussion, the Naggara drums, in response to interest for a smaller, mass-produced version. The setup includes two clay, dumbek-shaped drums finished in a bright brass glaze, resting in a finely crafted wooden table. The drums are of equal size but have different thickness heads, allowing for varying timbres. A wooden foot pedal is attached to each drum with a dowel linkage, allowing each drum tuning to be changed while playing. Finally, mounted between the drums is a hand-carved cherry wood woodblock. To get a variety of sounds, the Nakers set comes with a pair of bamboo brushes and a pair of piano hammer mallets.
O - Oboe
P is for pan pipes
Q is for Qiutaiplas.....you gotta believe it.
Q is for Qiutaiplas.....you gotta believe it.
Good one! Quitaipla- this is a Venezualan instrument made from bamboo sticks.
R is for Rain Stick
This is one my favorite posessions. It's very relaxing and hypnotic to play this beautiful, natural tool of sound........
S is for Sanshin:
T for Timpani
U is for Ukulele
V is for Viola..
X is for xylophone (from the Greek 'xilo' for wood, and 'foni' for voice)
