I am introducing to the world a brand new instrument that has been pulled straight from the future, its name is the Bendy Blow. I took the concept of many wind instruments and combined them to make my very own instrument. The instrument would fall under the wind class of music. Its look is like somebody took a flute and bent it down the center. Its sound is like a train blowing to a song, higher pitch with a melodic tone. As far as tone quality goes it can play a total of 32 notes each distinguished from the other. It is clearly distinguished by its resonance and is heard loud and clear alongside any other instrument. My band the Barking Spiders will showcase this new instrument on our tour. Our Band will play at Prince Concert Hall of Langhansville which was named after the master architect who designed it, Ryan Prince. Making this instrument required very few materials. All I used to make this instrument was PVC piping, a wooden dowel, and vinyl tape. These materials were just lying around in my garage and with permission from my dad I was able to use them for my instrument. Making the instrument was a little harder than finding the materials. I used a saw, an electric drill, a screw driver, a hammer, and tin snips. With a little help I could make my instrument in about an hour. The procedure was fairly easy but due to safety I had to have my dad do a lot of the more dangerous things. To start, I had my dad cut two longer pieces out of the PVC pipe and one very short piece. I then had him cut a fairly short piece of the wood with the saw. Afterwards I cut a long rectangle into the side of one of the PVC pipes and cut a line all the way through the very small piece of pipe. Next, I put the dowel into the pipe with the rectangle in it and left only a small part showing making sure part of the rectangle was still open. The next step was to place the small piece of pipe over the rectangle on the dowel. That is where I ran into the problem of getting it to stretch far enough to go over the other pipe. It took me, my dad, and a screw driver to get it on. I sketched out four dots on each long pipe where my dad then proceeded to drill a hole. The final step was to connect the 2 long pipes with the elbow PVC pipe. After that I just decorated it with vinyl tape. My instrument is defiantly not hard to play. It is just blowing into the mouth piece and positioning your fingers to produce the desired pitch. My instrument has a total of 32 different pitches it can play at each produced by the different positioning of the fingers. The loudness of my instrument is also able to be adjusted by how much effort and the strength that you are putting into the blowing. One of the benefits of my instruments is that it will never need to be tuned. I would assume that the only maintenance it would ever need would be the replacement of the dowel/mouthpiece after a long time. The sound waves are initially produced by the diffraction of sound produced by the mouth going around the mouth piece, reflecting through the pipes, diffracting through any unblocked holes, and eventually escaping through the end piece. My initial reaction to this project was that I was going to have a very hard time with this project. It in all honesty took quite a while but I was not bored for a single second. I was continuing to learn and experiment throughout the entire project. I liked being able to be as creative as I wanted while making my instrument. I did learn however that it is not easy to be creative sometimes. I am so used to being given a task and told how to do it that it was quite the challenge to be imaginative. While there is no apparent problem with my instrument if I had to change something I would probably re arrange the holes punched in for the fingers to where I could spread out my fingers more.
