1.1 Indigenous Kenyan Wind Instruments
Wind Instrument
- A wind instrument is played by blowing air into it.
- These instruments are common in many Kenyan communities. Moreover, each community has its own names for their wind instruments.
- They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials. Additionally, the craftsmanship varies among communities.
Parts of a Wind Instrument
- Air is blown in through a hole called the blowing hole or mouthpiece. Furthermore, there are other holes that create different sounds when played.
- The open end lets out air, and some instruments have mouthpieces made of reeds.
- They are made from various materials, and some have a closed end to direct the air.
Steps in Making a Wind Instrument
- First, collect the necessary materials.
- Ensure the tube is hollow. Then, mark and cut holes as needed.
- Handle the knife carefully to avoid injuries.
- Finally, clean up after making the instrument,
Caring for a Wind Instrument
- Handle with care as they are often breakable. To ensure longevity, use straps for safe storage.
- Wipe the mouthpiece with a clean cloth to prevent diseases.
- Additionally, keep the air passage dry after playing by using a feather or cloth.
