by hand
. From a tea box, PVA glue, wallpaper. We make furs. Cut out 2 rectangles, measuring 12*40 cm and 2 rectangles, measuring 7*40 cm. Glue them with masking tape on the wrong side.

We mark the folds. We draw lines at a distance of 1.5 cm.

collecting "fan"

. And so with all the rectangles. We make 1.5 cm cuts on the inner fold. This is what happened. Why did you use masking tape? So that the cuts do not tear further.

We turn up the corners only on those rectangles that are 12*40 cm. Cut out rectangles 12*7 cm from cardboard.

We will glue the top part of the furs. Gently spread with Moment

edge of a cardboard blank, with a side of 7 cm.

Glue it. For fixation we take clothespins. All cardboard blanks are in place.

Turn it over. Glue the bottom part of the furs. We fix it with clothespins and wait 15-20 minutes. Now we glue the front part.

Among interior decorations made of paper, the origami accordion, in its various variations, occupies a leading place. You can use it to make something like Chinese lanterns, a garland or a decorative flowerpot. Thanks to the ribbing, the structure is surprisingly durable and can last a long time. Simpler types of accordions are used in manigami or for making anti-stress toys.

"And I play…"

The correct name of the musical instrument played by the crocodile Gena from the popular Soviet cartoon is a chromatic hand harmonica or accordion. It was invented in 1829 by the Viennese master Cyril Demyan and his sons. The first instruments of this type were made in Saxony, and Russia became acquainted with them at the end of the 19th century. The accordion, like the button accordion, also borrowed from German masters and often called a harmonica, began to be produced in Moscow, and then in Tula. He became an integral part of folk musical culture, fitting into it extremely harmoniously. Only a few know that the purely Russian “accordion” has German roots.

When making a paper model of a tool using the origami technique, it is best to use a ready-made template from the Internet. Specialized websites provide separate patterns for bellows - accordion bellows and side half-bodies.

Step-by-step instruction

:

• Having printed the template, we begin to create folds. Fold lines are drawn either with dotted lines or dots. In the first case, you need to fold the figure “valley”, forming a depression, and in the second case, “mountain”, making a bulge. First we “go through” all the folds of the bellows. If the paper is thick, they need to be slightly pressed with a stationery knife or the edge of scissors (without pressing). This will allow you to make clear bends without deviations.
• Coat the area marked in gray with glue.
• We connect it to the opposite edge, getting a cylinder - the same bellows.
• Apply folds.
• We start not from the edge of the cylinder, but by skipping one row (see figure)
• For each parallelogram along the perimeter we make four folds as a “mountain” and one as a “valley”, diagonally. We also leave the last row at the other end untouched.

• Now we add up the previously missed sections. Only the folds “mountain” and “valley” are swapped.
• Let's start making half-shells. Their design allows the harmonica to produce sounds. Of course, they are far from real music, but still they make an impression, especially on children.
• First we make a conical hole for blowing air.
• We attach a horizontal bar to the gray area marked on the pattern.

• We glue the finished part with a hole on the inside of the half-body next to the slot indicated by the arrow.
• We fix the other end and the horizontal bar together with the sides of the workpiece. At which points is shown by an arrow.
• We glue the box of the half-body.

• We do the same with the second part. But we make sure that the horizontal part is located closer to the slot.

• Glue the half-shells to the bellows. First we put them in place and check if there is sound. If it is missing, you need to better align the purge hole with the opposite end of the groove.
• We glue the half-body on one side.
• With another.
• Glue the handles.

Now you can “play” and sing Gena the crocodile’s wonderful birthday song.

It is not at all necessary to resort to ready-made templates to make an origami accordion, but this time it is not a model of the instrument, but a decorative element. The task is not easy, requiring accuracy, attention and precision. But the result will be worth all the effort:

For the model you will need:

• 2 sheets of thick paper, the size of which is calculated individually;
• paper creasing stick (applies grooves to make clear fold lines);
• ruler, pencil;
• cutting board or self-healing mat;
• glue.

Step-by-step instruction:

• It is necessary to decide on the initial parameters of the workpiece. To do this, multiply the length of the product that you want to get in the end by 4.2, and the width by 1.5. For example, if we are making a decorative flower pot measuring 9x7 cm, the original rectangle should be 13.5x29.4 cm. To play it safe, it’s better to add another 1 cm on both sides. In our case it will be 14x30 cm.
• Place the rectangle with the long side facing you. Fold in half from left to right. We open and bend the short sides towards the center, as in the basic “Door” shape.
• Next, fold each half of the figure in half again. We open all the folds.
• Using the division method we get 8 equal parts. To divide them in half, you need to fold the workpiece to the penultimate division on the right and left sides, then to the second from the end, and so on until we reach the desired amount. It is better to immediately mark the first 8 divisions with a felt-tip pen, otherwise there is a risk of getting confused.

• Turn the workpiece over to the back side. Apply a diagonal mesh. We draw the first line from the upper left corner to the fourth fold. It’s better to mark it with a felt-tip pen too.
• We place the future “accordion” on a cutting board, or even better, on a breadboard (self-healing) mat and draw all the fold lines with creasing. If you don’t have one, you can use a utility knife, pressing the lines very lightly, or a non-writing ballpoint pen.
• Let's start making folds.

• We place the corrugated sheet as shown in the figure.
• We give the “accordion” volume by gradually tucking the edges inward and making sure that the central part rises. We also slightly press the longitudinal sides.
• Figure 3 shows the result of our efforts.

• Step by step, we completely compress the model, making it as flat as possible. Then the relief folds will turn out deep and beautiful. We straighten the product, bending it into half a ball.
• We fold the second “accordion” in the same way.
• Glue both halves together. Align the folds.
• It is better to use thick designer paper with a textured coating for this model.

Butterfly pleated

As soon as they don’t fold banknotes using the origami technique. There is a way to make butterflies with accordion wings, which are very elegant despite their simplicity. Dollars are ideal for pleated manigami, as they are durable and can quickly regain their shape. For each butterfly you will need 2 bills.

Place the banknote with the green side up. Let's start the assembly with it.

Fold the short sides along the white lines. Fold it in half lengthwise. We open and bend all the corners towards the outlined central axis.

Now we bend the long sides along the white border. And then we continue pleating the same size.

We collect the second bill along the long side.

You get two parts of the butterfly - upper and lower.

We connect them with bead wire.

You can additionally decorate with beads.

Antistress

The “accordion” is also used as a popular anti-stress toy today. By stretching and squeezing the folds of the “craft”, a person enters a trance-like state and relaxes. This is the principle of operation of all toys aimed at relieving stress. Most of them were invented in Japan: a collapsible handle that can be twirled in your hands and bent without fear of breaking, pillows that emit a slight wheeze when pressed, like a sleeping person, and, finally, the famous “squishies.”

“Accordion” has a calming effect not only in its finished form, but also at the assembly stage. Rhythmic weaving of strips and complete immersion in work will allow you to escape from accumulated problems, free your mind, and therefore find the right solution that relieves constant anxiety. The color scheme of the product also has a positive effect on the psyche - it is recommended to choose shades of the rainbow for it, alternating them in a natural order.

Hello friends!

Even when work was underway on the creation of a Children's collection of gift boxes, one of the models was literally “asking” to be decorated using the paper cutting technique. I'm talking about an accordion box. Well, you must admit, the carved patterns on its sides look simply magnificent! And very harmonious. Thanks to MK and templates prepared by Olga Kachurovskaya, now you and I can make this lovely accordion out of paper . All in our hands!

But first, a small announcement: the other day, the author of the Domovenok-Art blog, Elena Goloshtenko, interviewed me , and I invite you to take part in our conversation. By the way, Elena is also interested in creativity, and in its most varied forms - from home cooking to soap making, scrapbooking and creating children's toys. You should have seen what a toy elevator made of cardboard Elena and her husband made for their son - it’s something! With an electro-mechanical drive, on a control panel - it’s worth taking a look, or even doing it yourself.

<<>> ... Let's return to our paper toys. And before you start creating an accordion box, make sure you have the following materials and tools at hand:

— paper for pastels of 2 colors (A4 sheets);

- breadboard or stationery knife;

- ruler;

— a creasing tool (or just a knitting needle, a thin crochet hook, etc.);

- double-sided tape or glue.

We start, as usual, by printing the templates on paper (the templates themselves can be downloaded below).

We cut out the patterns, and then all the details of the future accordion along the contour.

We crease and bend the parts, observing the correct bend direction (different bend directions on part 1 are indicated by lines of different types). When folding “fur,” origami skills will be very useful. And for those who don’t have them yet, this will be a good way to practice =).

Then we paste a strip of double-sided tape onto the valve of part 1 (on the front side), having first straightened this area.

We collect and glue the “fur” of the paper accordion. This is what it should look like:

Now let's move on to the side parts. We insert “straps” into the slots of parts 2-1 and 2-2 (parts 3-1 and 3-2). We glue them on the inside with double-sided tape.

We glue the edges of the sides on the wrong side, as shown in the photo:

And glue the side parts to the “fur”.

It’s actually easier to cut and paste patterns onto the “straps” even before gluing the latter to the sides. It’s just that in this case, the very idea of ​​​​additional decorations arose after assembling the accordion from paper. And we had to finish it almost by weight, which is not very convenient.

gift box looked like after modification:

In the template file, patterns for the straps are already present (these are parts 4-1 and 4-2). Therefore, templates for all parts can be immediately printed on pastel paper and assembly can begin, taking into account the adjustments made.

As a gift wrapping, the accordion turned out to be quite roomy, and as a paper toy, it was miniature, but that made it even more attractive. Although the length of the straps is designed in such a way that a child’s hand (a child under 5-6 years old) can easily fit under them.

Making crafts with a baby

If your child asks you how to make an accordion out of paper, it would be best to offer him the simplest method by which the child can create the desired object himself. If you want to do this with him, then why not make a more complex and believable accordion. Letting the baby paint the finished product and also help create it. If origami has turned into an interesting and exciting activity for you, and you have enough patience, then try to implement the most complex options for creating an accordion. Such crafts not only look like the real thing, but are also unique masterpieces, and are also a great opportunity to show off your craftsmanship. If you need to make a life-size accordion, you will need colored, dark, and light cardboard along with a creasing tool. Before creating a fold, a guide is drawn on the sheet, which will prevent the very thick cardboard from creasing and give a straight and neat line. There are even more complex creation methods. There, the product is made from several parts and a frame. Cardboard and paper are used for this.

Making an accordion out of paper with your own hands?

Want to learn how to make an accordion out of paper? Read how. Even a child can handle the simplest method, but even an adult can make complex versions using the origami technique only using a template.

As for the size and appearance of the product, the accordion can be either a very small decorative, souvenir, or a life-size model.

In a word, here you will find information both about options for children’s creative activities or hobbies for adults, and the possibility of creating attributes for a holiday at school or preschool.

Different ideas

If a child comes to you with a question about how to make an accordion out of paper, offer him the easiest way in which the child can fold the object himself. If you prefer to practice with children, make a more complex example. Let the baby color the finished product.

If origami has become an interesting hobby for you, and you have enough patience, try to implement the most complex options. They not only look like the real thing, but, in general, are unique masterpieces and a great opportunity to show off your skills.

If you need to make a natural size accordion, you will need colored dark and light cardboard, as well as a creasing tool.

Before creating a fold, a guide is drawn on the sheet, which prevents the thick cardboard from creasing and gives a smooth, neat line.

There are also more complex methods, where the product is made from several parts with the manufacture of a frame. Both cardboard and paper are used.

The simplest preparation option

This product essentially looks like a relief and is made from a small rectangle of paper. The easiest task for children's creativity.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Cut out a rectangle of the desired size. It is better when the length is significantly greater than the width.
2. The child should make markings in the form of vertical lines at equal distances. Moreover, those that need to be folded inward should be made solid, and if they need to be folded outward, dotted or with any different shading or color. This way the child will definitely not make a mistake in which direction to bend.
3. The resulting accordion blank can be used for further creative work. If you need to make a product in the form of a musical instrument, simply step back some distance to the right and left and draw buttons and keys in these rectangles.

If the product is created for decorative purposes, you can decorate the top side with a figured edge made using a special hole punch.

Product of non-standard proportions

Don't know how to make a long accordion out of paper? The pattern is independent of length. You just need to take a large sheet and cut a strip. If there is no appropriate format, it is enough to carefully glue several A4 sheets together with tape or with a small overlap using glue. It is better if the seam is exactly as wide as the fold.

How to make an accordion out of paper step by step

Let's look at the sequence of making a paper musical instrument from an album sheet. The scheme of work is as follows:

1. Place the sheet horizontally in front of you.
2. Measure a strip of approximately 1 cm along the long edge. This will be the seam (gluing area).
3. Fold the sheet in half along the long side. Perform gluing.
4. Fold the resulting rectangle in half.
5. Stepping back about 5 cm from the left edge, begin making accordion folds. Do them until there is also 5 cm left to the right edge.
6. Carefully open the structure from one edge and blow inward. Straighten the resulting workpiece exactly so as not to damage the folds.
7. Fold the side elements and draw keys on them.

So, you have learned how to make a paper accordion with your own hands. In addition to the usual white sheet, you can take colored paper with embossing, and stick the keys from another.

Of course, the instructions given do not show the implementation in the most complicated way, but the accordion will look quite realistic. And the child will quickly master the technology. It turns out to be a good option for children's creativity.

Large accordion for a school event: what you need

To make such a musical instrument you will need the following:

• Decorative paper or wallpaper.
• Cardboard (for example, corrugated).
• Masking tape.
• PVA.
• Glue “Moment” or other quick fixation.
• Pencil, ruler.
• Clips or clothespins.
• Details for decoration.

Although the manufacturing technology is more labor-intensive and will take more time, the materials are practically the same as in the case of a small decorative product.

Instructions for making holiday props

The work sequence is as follows:

1. Cut out 4 rectangles from the wallpaper. Take the sizes you need, for example, 12x40 and 7x40 (two each, respectively). Furs will be made from them.
2. Apply masking tape to the underside of the parts.
3. Make markings on the workpieces (stripes at equal distances) along which to make the folds.
4. On the inner folds (when viewed from the front side), make cuts about 1.5 cm deep. To prevent thin wallpaper from tearing further, apply masking tape.
5. For those parts that will be placed vertically on the accordion (in this example, 12x40 cm), you need to make corner bends from the resulting cuts.
6. Cut out rectangles from cardboard that correspond to the height and “depth” of the accordion (here 12x7 cm). Their number should be equal to the number of folds on the workpieces. These will be a kind of stiffening ribs for the bellows.
7. Apply Moment glue to the smaller end of the cardboard blank and insert it into the first fold of the paper accordion strip with cuts. Secure with clips for added stability.
8. Do the same with all cardboard rectangles. This will be the top part of the furs.
9. Also do the bottom side.
10. When the structure has completely dried and stuck together, cover the resulting “skeleton” with the front and back.
11. Make the side parts in the form of two cardboard boxes of the appropriate size or find ready-made ones. It is also better to decorate these details with colored paper or wallpaper.
12. For greater realism, make an element on one side on which the keys are located. It is easy to assemble from several cardboard blanks glued one on top of the other (to add thickness), preferably with rounded edges.
13. Keys and buttons can be drawn or designed in the form of an applique, cut out of paper. Round elements are easier to make using a hole punch.

The main thing is to understand the principle of creating the structure itself. You can come up with absolutely any design.

As you can see, there are quite a few ways to make an accordion out of paper. Choose the one that suits your complexity. Make your own and teach your children. This is a useful and interesting activity.

Large, decorative accordion

To make such a musical instrument, you will need decorative paper, or wallpaper, cardboard, for example, corrugated cardboard, as well as masking tape and PVA. You can’t do without “Moment” glue or other quick-fixing glue. You will need a pencil with a ruler, clips or clothespins, and various other decorative items. Although the manufacturing technology is very labor-intensive and requires a sufficient amount of time, the materials needed are almost the same as for a small decorative product.

You need to cut out 4 rectangles from the wallpaper. The sizes are selected as convenient. For example, 12x40 or 7x40. Make 2 figures of each size. They will then need to be made into furs. After this, masking tape is glued to the wrong side of the parts. Next, markings are made on the blanks. These are small, barely noticeable stripes at an equal distance from each other. Folds are subsequently made along them. Then, on the inner folds, you need to make cuts 1.5 centimeters deep. To prevent very thin wallpaper from tearing beyond the cuts, masking tape was glued. For parts that will be placed vertically on an accordion in the future, you will need to make corner bends based on the resulting cuts.

You need to cut out rectangles from cardboard that correspond to the height, as well as the “depth” of the accordion. For example, here it is 12x7 centimeters. Their number should be equal to the number of folds on the blanks. These are kind of stiffening ribs for accordion bellows. Moment glue is applied to the smaller end of the cardboard blank, after which it is inserted into the first fold of the accordion strip, where there are cuts. Then you need to additionally secure it with clamps. You will need to do the same with all cardboard rectangles. This creates the top of the accordion bellows. Next you need to make the bottom part. When the structure is completely dried and glued, it is necessary to cover the resulting “skeleton” with the facade, as well as the back.

Making an accordion out of paper | Do it yourself

A paper accordion is one of the simplest elements. Anyone can create it, after which a huge number of spectacular decorative things can be made from it: for example, various snowflakes and little books. Accordions can be simple or more complex, small or huge, for interiors and postcards.

Materials and tools

• paper (cardboard, any paper - colored, landscape, velvet, if you want to make an exquisite version of accordions);
• ruler;
• any glue;
• pencils;
• paints;
• glitter;
• markers.

Simple manufacturing method

Take a rectangle of the desired size, the length of which is several times greater than the width. To get a long accordion when there is no paper of a similar size, glue several sheets together and do not bend them until they are completely dry. The glue line should be as wide as the planned fold, so it won’t be noticeable.

If you doubt your eye, mark the workpiece with vertical lines, placing them at equal distances. Do not press too hard on the pencil when marking so that snowflakes or other products look beautiful. Mark the places where you need to make an internal fold with solid lines, and for external folds - with barely visible dots.

Once you have marked the rectangle, you can bend it, carefully smoothing each fold with your hands. It's your cardboard blank, you'll have to put in more effort to make it look neat.

Options for using a simple accordion

The top of the blanks can be decorated with curly cutouts - manually or using a hole punch. The same snowflakes from such an accordion will look especially elegant.

To make them, you need to fasten the accordion in the center with a stapler, make holes in the edges to your liking - here you can show your imagination in full force! Holes can be cut not only along the edges, but also across the entire surface of the workpiece, using a hole punch or nail scissors. After this, straighten the accordion and fasten its edges to form a circle.

Instead of regular paper, you can use colored or beautiful napkins with patterns to create snowflakes. You can decorate a Christmas tree, a window with these snowflakes, hang them so that they hang from the ceiling or form a beautiful holiday decor on the walls.

If it is assumed that you will make a free musical instrument from the blank, you can draw keys on it with paints or felt-tip pens, or stick them on by cutting them out of paper. For the button accordion, you need to leave sections without folds on each side of the accordion in order to decorate them as is the case with a real instrument.

If you make wide folds, you will get a book, on each side of which you can make illustrations on the topic. For example, this could very well turn out to be a bright alphabet for kids or a book with numbers for them to learn. If you make a book out of a paper accordion with your child, this will contribute to his development and will allow you to become closer to him.

Agree that now you will no longer have the question of how to make a book or snowflakes out of paper.

A complicated way to fold an accordion

This was a simple way to create an accordion. Once you have mastered it, you can move on to a more complex option of creating an almost real accordion or even a paper button accordion with your own hands. A square sheet of paper will be useful for this. Bend it horizontally almost in half, moving the fold line just a little beyond the center of the workpiece. This is necessary so that the edge slightly opens the bottom.

A narrow strip will be visible from under it - bend it upward, covering the edge of the half of the sheet that is on top. Then the operation needs to be repeated: bend the future accordion along the same line as before, and bend the narrow part of the paper that is on top upward. The result should be a narrow paper rectangle.

Bend it in half horizontally and then unfold it.

Bend the resulting folds so that there is a seam on top. In the center of the resulting element after all the manipulations you will see narrow stripes. Once this has happened, bend the workpiece exactly in half: the fold line should be under the narrow strip.

And now with the resulting rectangle you need to do the same procedure that you already knew when creating a simple accordion - that is, alternate folds inward and outward. Leave a place on both edges where there will be no folds - these will be the accordion handles. Carefully smooth out the lines to roll the workpiece into a rectangle. You should end up with something that looks like a box with fold lines.

By holding the handles, you can fold and spread the accordion, just like a real musical instrument does. All that remains is to make the keys on the handles.

Now you know how to make an accordion with your own hands from any material and for any purpose, be it elegant snowflakes, bright books or stylized musical instruments.

Don’t stop at the ideas we’ve proposed: you can always come up with your own version of the creative use of an accordion in decoration or the educational process. For example, you can make voluminous applications from accordions, folding them into umbrellas, hedgehogs, suns, flowers, trees, Christmas trees and many other elements.

And appliqués don’t have to be only on postcards – they will look great on the walls when decorating a room for the holiday.

Side parts

The sides of the accordion are made in the form of 2 cardboard boxes of appropriate sizes. You can also make an applique in the form of buttons and keys - this decor will give the paper accordion more credibility.

Folded paper into a small accordion makes incredibly beautiful butterflies.

The craft consists of a small body cut out of cardboard and folded wings made of colored paper.

In this work, the technique is a little more complicated with different colors. The peacock's tail includes various colors to enhance the brightness and beauty of this gorgeous bird. But this is not at all difficult to do, just fold several accordions from colored paper of different colors, and then glue them on top of each other.

Leaves of different colors and shapes

The leaves that look the most chic from folded paper are the leaves. Maple and oak leaves turn out wonderful, but to make them, you will need, in addition to colored paper and glue, special templates, cutting out which will give you the outline of a particular leaf. In principle, some leaves can be made without a template, for example, simple oval, oblong, the most common and common ones.

Craft "Bayan"

On the Internet it is not so often possible to find crafts in the form of such a musical instrument as the button accordion.
And this is understandable, since making it is not so easy. To create such a masterpiece will require a lot of time, patience, skill and imagination. This craft can be made as a gift for a person who plays the button accordion. Surely someone’s grandfather is partial to this instrument, so this would be a wonderful gift for him from a grandson or granddaughter, which, among other things, was made with soul. So, you will need the following materials:

• Styrofoam.
• Lilac crepe paper.
• Beige crepe paper.
• Pink crepe paper.
• Green corrugated paper.
• Corrugated paper is white.
• Black corrugated paper.
• Green film.
• White paper.
• Cardboard.
• Gold colored ribbon.
• Glue gun.
• Scotch.
• Ruler.
• Red glossy paper.
• Wooden skewer.
• Pen of any color.

From foam plastic we cut out the side parts for the button accordion, 15 cm high and 11 cm wide. One part has a front side width of 7.5 cm, and the other 12 cm. We cut out the part from the cardboard on which the round flat buttons will be located. We wrap the foam well with ordinary tape so that paper can be glued to it. We cover all three resulting parts with lilac crepe paper. Now you need to make bellows for the button accordion. Take clean white paper and beige crepe paper. We cut out 2 strips of them, 11 cm wide and 20 cm long. Then we cut out 2 more strips, 19 cm wide and 24 cm long. We fold the strips of white paper like an accordion. Then, using a glue gun, glue the beige paper to the white stripes.

We glue the resulting furs to the two parts made earlier.

In order to make the accordion look more natural and you can play with it a little, we glue the opposite sides of the fur and secure it with cardboard strips. We glue gold tape to the places where the paper was glued together.

We cut out 10 circles with a diameter of about 2 cm from cardboard. We cover 5 circles with white corrugated paper, and the remaining 5 with black corrugated paper. We attach to the button accordion the part on which these buttons will be located. Using glue, glue the buttons in the order as shown in the photo.

Roll up plain paper into balls and cover them with white and black corrugated paper; these will be buttons on the other side of the button accordion. We also glue them in the same order as in the photo. We glue gold tape around them for beauty.

Let's make a small stand for the button accordion. We cut out a rectangle from thick cardboard along the length of the button accordion and cover it with blue corrugated paper. We glue small pieces of foam and blue paper to the edge of this part.

Let the glue dry and place the button accordion in the stand.

The Russian folk button accordion is always associated with flowers. Cut out 24 pieces of pink crepe paper, 2.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm long. Stretch each piece. Fold in half and cut into half a heart shape. We open it and use a wooden skewer to curl the edges, giving the petals the desired shape.

From polystyrene foam and red glossy paper we make a small ball for the center of the flower. We glue this ball with the resulting petals, that is, you will need 8 petals for each flower. From green corrugated paper, cut out 2 leaves for each flower.

We glue green film onto the wide part of the button accordion as in the photo.

Glue the flowers into the middle of the green base.

Bayan is ready! They can safely please someone who is crazy about this musical instrument.
