Here on the island music is an important part of our lives. There are many ways that we use bamboo to make musical instruments. One of the instruments I love to make is a rain stick.
We have plenty of bamboo here and it is easy to find the supplies that I need to make different musical instruments. We also take the bamboo and make an acoustic instrument that uses 4 different sizes of bamboo. The bamboo is mounted on a stand that displays the bamboo in a line. Sticks are used to hit the bamboo and play the music. Other people will carve out a small reed of bamboo and make a nose flute to play.
