LOUD LID | Punjabi

This is a wonderful musical toy for which you require a bottle lid, old sketch pen, stiff straw, balloon and a rubber band. Make a hole in the center of the lid and also one along the rim. Press fit a stiff straw in the rim. Press fit a 10-cm long sketch pen tube in the base hole of the lid. There should be no leakage of air from the joint. Now stretch a torn balloon like a membrane on the lid and tie a rubber band to keep it in place. Push the sketch pen a little up such that it just touches the balloon. 
Place the stiff straw in your mouth and blow and a wonderful music will emanate – it will sound almost like the bagpipes. Open and close the holes on the sketch pen to play different notes.
