Hello everyone.
This week in counting the beat, e are focusing on unusual instruments. These instruments might be a combination of both instruments or make a different kind of sounds from different genres.
My instrument are from the string and the percussion family. I was inspired by a guitar. It is sometimes used in a percussion way by slamming on the body of the guitar. I decided to do a string instrument with another percussion instrument. I decided to do a harp because it makes a really light and harmonic sound. Though it was difficult for me to think of a light sounded percussion instrument. Then I though of a xylophone it has a pitch sound that can merge with the harp and make a beautiful noise.
My instrument is called a Xyloharp. I decided to name it this because the instrument is base on wood which is what 'xylo' meant. Xylophones are originally made from wood so I decided to keep its originality. The harp is portable so its not that big. The xylophone is attached to the side and play by your ring and pinkie finger. On those fingers a little xylophone stick is attached on. I also added my cultural pattern on the harp to resemble the creator (Me).
The instrument will be used for light music as it makes quite relaxing sounds from both instruments.
Here is a picture of my instrument:
Thank you for reading this blog post.
