Here's a "Tam'jo" a dulcimer banjo made from tamborine.

Here's a site with a lot of homemade instruments:

Promise us you won't make any bagpipes though.


I mostly want to bring an instrument so that I can pass the time when  
I'm alone. I play Irish or American old-time. The Irish could get on  
people's nerves I imagine and I might not realize people are around  
me at the time. I really don't want to offend anyone.
