The reason i asked of the question is also that there is any difference nuance of "play" and "make". but i can't be sure about it.
i knew that "make"-verb have meaning that need more effort for something to do than "take, get" -verb.
example as , take a taxi vs get a taxi
take a job vs get a job
get a business vs make a business
