I've been searching and searching goggle for this craft i made a long
time ago and i want some of my kids i look after to make too.

Basically it's a box with a hole on the top. then varying lengths of
popsicle sticks are attached, and then you can flap/pluck (?) the
popsicle sticks to make music. Does anybody have a clue what this is
called, or even better, a site with instructions?
thanks,

oh, and assuming people get ****y about binary stuff on the ng, if you
sorta know what i'm talking about but are unclear i made a simple
picture of the top of the thing if you want me to send it to you.
