7. Drinking Straw Pan Flute
Items Needed: 5, Straws, masking/scotch tape, pliers, lighter, scissors
For our number 7 on the list of easiest musical instruments to make at home all you need is a bunch of drinking straws (about 8 or more), and the idea is to change the pitch of the flute by varying the size of the vibration chambers. You can do that by cutting the drinking straws at different lengths and reducing the size of the opening by squeezing them with pliers and heating them for a brief period. After you are done cutting and closing the ends of the straws, all you need to do is just line them up in the shape of a pan flute formation and use some sort of adhesive tape to bind the whole arrangement together.
