Hi,gang,

I want to do a magazine article on instruments you can make yourself (for those of us who aren't professional instrument-makers). What are your suggestions? I'd like to narrow it down to maybe three or four and be able to provide directions and, eventually, photographs of the instruments being made. And these need to be instruments people will actually play in the company of other musicians. Not to insult Cleigh or anything, but probably blowing air up a small clay animal's behinder won't quite work for this particular purpose.

Thanks, ww/a.k.a. Ms. Editor Gal
