made in the stem. By inserting this entirely into the mouth and blowing 

 through it, the two slit surfaces are made to vilirate together, creating a 

 reedy sound. A hole about one-eighth the length of the stem from the big 

 end will produce a tone above the fundamental. Another hole at. nearly the 

 same distance, and a third hole at about half that distance from the second, 

 should complete the first four tones of the diatonic major scale. Several 

 squash-leaf stems can be cut until they will produce lik tones, and they can 

 then be used to make an interesting squash-leaf ensemble. If kept in water 

 when not in use, these instruments will last for several days.
