Are you going to join TechShop? Chris did, but I think he's still pondering which project to bring over there.

I have. Mostly so far I've just been taking classes, but I've got some projects in mind.

The ideas that came to mind were mostly about building wind instruments, and attaching a large number of them to a compressed air source. Kind of like a set of bagpipes, but far more annoying.

I keep thinking about modifying my electric broom into a bagpipe-like drone thing, but I need to order some additional tubes (they detach at the base of the tube) as I'd like to keep it functional. Maybe use it as the feed for my baritone saxophone. Hmm...I *like* that idea.

Oh yeah, thats just crying for some sort of bagpipe drone attached to it.

Josh and I have been speculating for years about building a series of vacuum-powered accordions. I imagine a whole marching band of them, if I could get anyone to march with me.

I would also like to be part of a kazoo orchestra, but nobody who thinks this is a good idea lives within a hundred miles of me. This may not be coincidence.

clearly the answer is to attempt to build an electric bagpipe that sounds good. There's no way you'll succeed, and an out of tune, badly played set of pipes is, bar none, the most annoying sound you'll ever hear.

This was based on the turn-an-air-hockey-table-into-a-giant-air-compressor-powered-organ discussion?
