Hold rope by loop and strike slats with hammer made from a stick and a spool padded with cloth.

BAMBOO PAN PIPES Bamboo tubes with diameter from ⅜ in. to ¼ in. 1st tube about 7 in. long.

Leave joint at bottom to close it. Grind and cut bamboo tubes shorter and shorter until you get the right note when blown.

Another way: Test tubes bound together and partly filled with clay will give different depths and different notes of the scale.
