Sweet.

Oh, and I've been finding your lutheric exploits quite fascinating - apologies for the lack of comments indicating as much.

[helenseviltwin]

Ditto - I just read all your lutherie entries and was laughing aloud in the office and then had to explain to my colleague what a mandola was.

[failmaster]

Glad you like it. There may (or may not) be another attempt at a (hopefully working this time!) mandola in the near future. :)

I'm really enjoying Speedwritten by the way. If you have other albums bring copies when you next come up to York (Pride?) and I will give you cash. =)

Coolies - we have an old EP and I should be able to provide you with a sampler of the forthcoming album, although that won't be finished until about October.

What materials is it made out of?

[failmaster]

Homebase 20mm plastic electrical conduit pipe (plus fittings) and an alto-sax reed. Held together with a hair-bobble.

Oops?

[philipstorry]

Yeah, I do that accidentally all the time...

;-)

[clarisinda]

Cool! Will be interested to hear what it sounds like. How did you make it?

[failmaster]

I'll do a separate post on materials, construction and sound when I get chance (hopefully at the weekend).

[albatros]

Which is very good, unless you were intending to make a hoover attachment.

Look forward to seeing your pipe organ, which was intended to be a retail display of drainpipes.

[failmaster]

I did find a page written by the man who built a contrabass clarinet capable of playing at 4Hz (and very little else!). He used ~20m of plastic drainpipe.

Must be for a Russian military pipe band: shake some guts up in the field :o)

[shrydar]

I believe 10-15Hz are the least comfortable for one's entrails, at least if I'm correctly recalling the course materials for the ride-comfort portion of the vehicle dynamics course I attended back in the day..
