PVC Instrument
Intro: PVC Instrument
Here is some stuff I can play on it:

This is a Blue-Man Group style instrument my dad and I built over spring break. It's made from PVC pipe and some wood, mainly got from restore (habitat for humanity). The longer pipes make make deeper sounds with lower pitches and the shorter ones have higher pitches. It's pretty basic. It was built for a science project, and I think it turned out fairly nice. Basic dimensions:
Height: 3.5 ft
Width: 4.5 ft
Depth: 3.5 ft

nice project... step-by-step instructions on how you built it would have been much helpful for others to follow

hey, this is great job, and your performance in the video is amazing. I have one question, What king of paddle do you use to play this instrument? how did you buid it? I have seen other tubulums online and they have the mouth of the pipe cut in diagonal with a patch or something, have you tried this type of thing? any idea of what kind of material would that patch be? THANKS FOR YOUR POST!!! THIS IS ON MY LIST OF VACATION PROJECTS!
