Experiment Instrument

For my last instrument, I have decided to use the leftover PVC piping and add a mouthpiece of another instrument. This instrument creates sound by the reed vibrating against the mouthpiece. In order to create an airtight gap between the connector and the mouthpiece, I used hot glue gun. Once there was no air leaking I went outside to predrill the holes and then tune it. The main problem I had when doing this was the tuning. When I was outside it was rather cold so when I came inside the instrument changed tuning because of the heat change. This is why instruments are usually tuned inside at about 20’c so that they are usually in tune when being played indoors.

Another mistake when creating this was that I didn’t take as many photos as I wish to.

Above is the hot glue gun I used to create an air-tight seal around the connector. As well as the two mouthpieces which used to Make the sound out of the instrument.

Above is me drilling the tuning holes for the instrument.
