My own weird instrument-Counting the beat

Hello good readers!

This is my weird instrument i made- A Violin with a keyboard

Inspiration:

I saw a video with a girl playing the violin and her mum 

playing the keyboard and it gave me an idea

to put the two instrument together.

What instrument family does it belong to?
Strings and percussion.

What is it made from?
Violin=Wood. Keyboard=water cut plastic.

How do you play it?
You would put the Violin on your chest like normal Violin, and these a hole for the
Bow so you can take it out to use the Violin. You would put your bow back in the
hole or hold it, then u can play the keyboard and quickly get the bow to play the
Violin.

What type of sound does it play?
it can do any type of sound if you focus on the way you play it.

What type of music will it be used for
The same as the sound.

He told us to to get the items that were on the table ( percussion music ) and make it into music, the items we grabbed were: To big sticks, kitchen supplies that Jordan brought from home, and like these counting things.
