The Instruments of the Orchestra: A Guide for Kids

One of early additions to MakingMusicFun.net were the Hey Kids, Meet the Orchestra pages. Each one gives an overview of the musical instrument, including it's history, how it's made, and how it's played. 

I've updated the images a couple times. This time I wanted to match the new site colors and eliminate the drop shadow, in favor of a flatter design.
