We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

Admit it; is a lot of fun to make music. Even more fun, however, is to make your own musical instrument from trash, impressing your friends and complete strangers. A fair warning though, making your own musical instruments is highly addictive!
We got in touch with Loek Vellekoo To find out a bit more about these intruments. This is what he had to say
I made this kalimba (a part of the lamellophone family), from some leaf-rake tines and hacksaw blades. Alternatively, I have used car dipsticks, road-sweeper bristles, bicycle spokes, windshield wipers, and sewer springs before. You can make anything create sound! An added bonus when you invent a new instrument: you are instantly the best-’name instrument here’-player in the world.
