To build a tuned PVC Slap-a-phone instrument (AKA an End Struck Plosive Acoustic instrument(?) the length of each pipe is determined by this formula:

The speed of sound (meters per second) divided by the frequency of the note you want to use (the exact key on a piano), minus the diameter of your pipe (in meters) minus the adjusted interior bend length of any joint connections. This was so much more involved than I realized when I was like “My 2 yr old loves percussion, my mom & I are bald durning her chemo, let’s be Blue Man Group!

Totally worth it. Happy Belated Halloween.

I don’t know where the puppet part comes in, but always fun to see Cirque sharing my old pics. (I’m upside down in red…)

In chaos there is beauty; our aerial acrobat gracefully glides through the air in this stunning puppet duet act 🌟
