Description: It can be as simple as putting a stick through a box and attaching a couple of nylon strings. But, with a few more techniques for working with cardboard, these fun-to-make and fun-to-play instruments from around the world can go beyond that, with remarkable sound quality. Strum a homemade Middle Eastern Lute, or Oud; Chinese Moon Guitar; North Indian Sitar, or Shoebox Zither. Fill the house with the angelic sound of an Angel Harp. Or, fashion big string basses, Australian Didgeridoos, trumpets, flutes, percussion tubes, and more. If you want to build something more complex, just follow the instructions on designing sound boxes, tuners, peg heads, and fretting. You'll be surprised what wonderful things start with an ordinary piece of cardboard!
