These instruments may look as if they come from outer space, but they work here on Earth.

Jamming with Pipes

Sally Seabright is a violin teacher who plays PVC violin with the band. At first, the rounded shape of the PVC violin made it difficult to hold between her chin and shoulder, but Kovac modified the violin by adding a piece that fits perfectly under her chin.

When Kovac “stirs” the mallet around this Rührtrommel, it makes a clip-clopping sound.

That kind of adaptability is what Kovac admires about PVC. He says, “I know it’s not easy for the average person to make a musical instrument, but I hope to enable anyone who has ever dreamed of making a violin, harp, or guitar to fulfill his or her dreams.”

So if you think making an instrument sounds like fun, try using PVC pipes or other household materials to experiment with diff erent sounds and creations. You could even call a few friends and form your own band! With homemade instruments, you, too, can make the pipes sing.
