Steel Pan
The steel pan was invented in the twin islands Trinidad and Tobago in the 1930s. It is a musical percussion instrument that was created using a steel drum, which is primarily used to store petroleum. The steel pan, which was the only musical instrument to be invented in the twentieth century, is made by hand through a ten step process. It is currently the national instrument of Trinidad & Tobago with the annual panorama being the largest steel band competition in the world. A steel pan musician is called a pannist. To play this instrument, the pan is struck with two wooden sticks, which have rubber tips.
