Anyway, there is hope now that I will get a large storage closet to use for these special instruments from my show "Never Cry Wolf." The post below tells about my experience with making them

The production number "Set It for Posterity" allows the Muses opportunity to adjust the poses of the Politicians to help them look heroic for their portraits on the vases. The Musicians, of course, play their authentic replica instruments during this wild and wonderful romp complete with demonstrations of 1960's dance crazes and a rock 'n roll guitar solo. Yes, the instruments are key to this number!
The Tympanun are simply variations of hand drums. I decided that Quaker Oats containers were the perfect size and shape. I painted them and added "skins" out of fake leather held on with glue and rubber bands. Seems to work out well. Sturdy enough for four performances, anyway.


The ace up my sleeve was our son Matthew who can really play the guitar!
