With the base half of the bottle, and with the help of a candle and an iron hut. Make two small holes next to each other as you see in the picture. Now make a slightly larger hole and behind the two little ones where you will insert and stick the straw, as it is shown in the picture.

Step 3 : Coupling

Cut the beginning of the balloon, so that you can insert it in the bottle.Make sure that you are also covering the two small holes.

How Does It Work?

The air that enters through the straw resonates on the membrane (balloon) generating wave variations on the sound box (bottle), and the sound come out from the open side of the bottles.

Gently blows through the straw, but the secret is to pronounce vowels and consonants at the same time you blow.

Enjoy the music with your new Trumpeton!!

Thanks!!!
