     GROUP MATES:

A xylophone made out from roof tiles which have different lengths tied together with wooden base. Aluminium plates are stick on the wooden base to create sound when the bricks are hit. The wooden stick was once a screed which I made it into a stick with steel bar on it.

A tambourine. Base of tambourine is made of PVC pipes that are cut to appropriate width along with aluminium plates which produced sound, are a cute to square attached with strings to PVC pipes.

"Rimba tubes" or "slap tubes" creates a 'thud' or 'chuds' sounds. Made from pvc pipes, the sounds are created by slapping or hitting the top end of the pipes, usually using a rubber mallet or a rubber sandal. A higher pitch is produced when the length of the tube is shorter and vice versa.
