How to Make a Grass Harmonica



If you like music, but finding or investing in an instrument isn't an option, this grass harmonica is for you!

Steps   [edit]

  1. Find a piece of grass about twice as long as your thumbs! Grass that is too short will be difficult to play.
  2. Fold it over once, lengthwise.
  3. Place it between your thumbs, while maintaining a high tension on the blade.
  4. Blow on the grass along its edge, and it should release a sound.


Tips   [edit]

  • Don't put too much pressure on the grass or it will rip.
  • Don't do this around those who've never heard of playing a blade of grass. They may think you're weird.
  • Notes from the grass may vary depending on the tension of the grass blade.


Warnings   [edit]

  • The blade of grass may tickle your lips when played.
  • Use clean grass.


Things You'll Need   [edit]

  • A long blade of grass
  • Ability to find pleasure in simple things
