Just typing in "instruments to make in a classroom" into google has given me a ton of results! I didn't realize there were so many excellent projects out there. A lot of the ones I found I don't think would be appropriate however, as the supply list would be too expensive. The following three are my ones I could see myself making with students:
Maracas : I remember using these in my school, they were always my favourite instrument! It's mostly made out of things you have a home, old newspaper, flour, toilet paper rolls and then just decorative supplies.
Rainstick: This would be fun to use during a unit on weather! If I were to use them in my class, however, I'd make sure to put the nails in the tube before bringing them to the class.
Rhythm Sticks: I have a large package of old beads that I used to make beaded bracelets with, so this craft would be fun and inexpensive. They also apparently sound like crickets, so it could be used in a unit on bugs.
