Create an Instrument – Easier than Lemon Pie

After baking a cheesecake, my husband cut off the top to the lemon juice container.  It turns out that the resulting plastic container creates the perfect jug-like instrument.  Because it is plastic you can easily squeeze the “lemon” to create different sounds.  Just like a real jug instrument, you can also add water to make different notes.  I wonder if you can add holes to create a ocarina-like instrument?  Perhaps that will be another post… Cutting off the top is easy.  You can use a kitchen knife or other cutting utensil.  Just be careful!  To play, simply purse your lips and blow air across the top hole.

That’s it for a handy tip on one way to reuse lemon juice containers.  Have fun and send in pictures or links to videos of your results.
