Advantages of making your own: 1) Personalized, 2) Cheaper, 3) Types no one else sells, 4) Satisfaction of making. <\/p>\n<p>There is not much overlap of instruments featured between these three books.<\/p>\n<p>The coolest of the three guides is Making Gourd Musical Instruments. It has very explicit step-by-step instructions for making 60 instruments using lightweight gourds as the sound amplifiers. Gourds enable wind, string and percussion instruments &#8212; so you could make an entire orchestra. This book has the most variety of musical options and great examples of world-wide traditional instruments for inspiration. If you can get only one of these three books, this should be it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/09\/book-2.jpg\" alt=\"book-2\" width=\"250\" height=\"271\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13220\" \/><br \/>\nMaking Musical Instruments by Hand<br \/>\nJay Javighurst<br \/>\n1998, 108 pages<br \/>\n$9+, used<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1564963527\/?tag=cooltools-20\">Available from Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/09\/book-3.jpg\" alt=\"book-3\" width=\"250\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/09\/book-3.jpg 250w, https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/files\/2013\/09\/book-3-197x300.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><br \/>\nSound Designs<br \/>\nJohn Scoville, Reinhold Banek<br \/>\n1995, 224 pages<br \/>\n$8+, used<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0898157757\/?tag=cooltools-20\">Available from Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best DIY instrument how-to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13218"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13218"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13218\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13232,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13218\/revisions\/13232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
