Now that you know how vibration can create sound, you can create your very own instrument. 

Think of a concept on how to make your soundgenerator using simple material that you may also use at home, such as: 

- elastic, plastic, cardboard, foil, etc. 

Draw your conept on a paper and figure out the amount of material you need.
