I am looking for instructions on how to make Shekeres and Mbiras out of gourds. The directions need to include what kind of gourd. It will be 6th graders making them for a class project. Most of the goo searches have the very expensive crafted ones. I have searched my craft books of 50 years and find nothing. Is help is on the way??

Thanks for your replies!!

Pinecone-If you will Google Shekeres and Mbiras you will get hundreds of sites with instructions for making these instruments.Your 6th graders should have a lot of fun doing this.I have a DGD in the 6th grade and she really enjoys crafting with gourds.
Good Luck.......Lillie
