The group met in Marycrest to decide on a final concept. The group is producing a PVC "drumbone", which will consist of various lengths of PVC pipe. The group will make mathematical calculations depending on the tube parameters to create the desired notes from the PVC. A rubber or foam paddle will be used to strike the top of the PVC to create a sound wave which will propagate through and create the note. A frame will also be built to hold the PVC pipes.
The next meeting will be held after fall break once the PVC pipe has been bought. The pipe will be cut to determine an A440 measurement. From that measurement the other pipes will be cut and assembled into the final piece.
More updates to follow!
