Re: Ang: Bells horns, etc

OH MY GAWD! someone ELSE who LOVED Bloom County! The strip was started by a
guy who lived in Iowa City and Quirky doesn't begin to describe it! By
theway, Look up "Nonsequiter" by wiley, another Iowa city cartoonist, which
is really GREAT, and includes such characters ad "OBVIOUSMAN"
 ANyhoooo! Back to trikes. I LIKE my air Zound, but two things prevent my
using it, the awkwardness of the long tube and no place to mount the
damn....uh....DARN thing on my bars. too little clearance anywhere. HAVE to
figure out how to do it again. It is useful! But somehow I think a
.........oh! um......guys.....have you ever thought of mounting the Air
Zound on a longer piece of PVC? say a foot long chunk of 1 1/2 or something?
or longer? It would be fairly simple to heat and "bell" if you wanted to
which would change the note (the tuned legnth of the pipe) and maybe amplify
it. that puny little bell sort of sucks. I have made simple flutes and
whistles from PVC and it works pretty neat. not at ALL hard to do. Our local
Science Museum has an ....well,....sort of a pipe organ that you play by
slapping rubber paddles on the 4 inch tubes that are of different lengths.
 Just a thought.
