counting the beat - invent your own instrument

Hello today I am going to tell you what I have been been doing in 7/8 hurumanu 

We had to make a drawing about a weird interment that is like if you put a guitar and a drum together. That was an example of what we are doing for the drawing part.Here is a link to the video.

My drawing is about a guitar xylophone and a drum with bells on the end.

It is made out of wood and metal, it took me 5 minutes to get an idea.

it is in the string family. it would be an orchestra as a back instrument.
