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 also find it hard to believe that the holes he arbitrarily drilled in
the
sides resulted in it being
in perfect pitch with the synth.

Nope. I also call BS.


Not that I'm an expert, but...

You guys are a bunch of skeptics. :)


Well shiver me timbers ... the guy is legit. I wonder what his version of
a Sousaphone would look like.


Probably use one of those monster pumpkins you see at county fairs in
the Fall. :)
