Here is a short list of homemade musical instruments and their origins.

If you have a musical instrument that is not listed, please share it in the comments. 

A couple of things I think people should know: 1.

All instruments are handmade, not imported.

2.

If you have an instrument that you want to donate to a charity, please consider donating it to the Bakersfield Food Bank. 

3.

The following instruments have a history that goes back decades or more.

They are a very specific style of instrument and they are not for everyone.

There are some people who like to play them to a crowd.

Some people love playing them to their own family and friends.

4.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a few musical instruments that have made the cut. 

A few of the ones that I am aware of: the dulcimer  (a stringed instrument), the flute (a percussion instrument), and the piano (a wooden one).
