Strange Instruments - COUNTING THE BEAT

 This week we have learned about strange instruments, instruments that no one has every seen or played before. We had to make a drawing of a unusual and weird instrument on a peice of paper, my instrument is a ukulele cross between a guitar, it has 10 strings because a guitar has 6 strings and a ukulele has 4 strings, so that's what makes is unique to other weird instruments.

My instrument belongs to the string family because it has 10 strings on the neck and it has 10 tuning pegs for the strings. It is made from normal wood like a guitar. You play it normaly like a guitar or a ukulele you can swith through the strings because there is 10 strings, the first 4 strings are the ukulele setting, an the last 6 strings are the guitars setting, and you can play all the strings to make a new unique song and sound. The instrument can be played for any type of music because it has lots of vairity for the sound because it has 10 strings therefore it could be used for any type of music.

Here is a picture of my instrument...
