It is complete!

Well, after many many hours of hard work, I have finally brain-birthed this crazy idea into reality. Behold! My new PVC Instrument...thing. Yeah, I still haven't named it yet, but I welcome any suggestions. I had many requests from people to hear what it sounds like, so I posted a video of me playing all the notes from the bottom up:





Yes, there are still a few things to do: pretty it up, fine-tune some of the notes, make a cart (yeah, puting wheels on it wasn't going to work), and make some paddles to hit the pipes with. Overall, I am very excited and ready to start playing it!

***UPDATE***

I will be doing my first performance on this thing on May 8th at Artsfest in Springfield. Time still yet to be determined.

    I vote hamster hell! Although hog pots is pretty good, too. The walrus is my third choice.

    Played the video for Mason and he got really excited. He would like to book a live private performance (his parents will chaperon), please. Oh, and he would like free admission. Also, he would like to hear his favorite song, the Superman theme song. It might help if you wore all red and made farting noises at some point. Can we arrange this?

    Has Pipes been taken? I was going to suggest dumber plumber or plumber's crack or something more obvious, but I think Pipes is an excellent name for a musical instrument.
