I have an inclination to call bull**** on this one. I played woodwind
instruments and the length of this instrument vs the pitch don't add
up. It's been a while but I think the pitch would be higher. Of
course, in theory I can't see why it wouldn't work, just not sure
about this one...


I'm impressed but dont know enough about music to say BS or no.


And the tone itself, I am not sure it would be so clean with the soft
(compared to most instruments) sides. And then there is he free hand
drilling of holes and the fact that most of the notes sounded in tune
at first listen.. I could go back, but it just sounds too good for
freehand... I might have to listen again.
