I love it

The only place I use PVC in pipe organs is for wind conveyance to pneumatic appliances contained within. I used to solder together galvanized ductwork for that--but it required the use of lead solder, hydrochloric acid and very large hot soldering irons--kinda dangerous. I'll take my chances with PVC--but not for organ pipes-yech-what a horrible sound. Interesting, practical demonstration of physics etc.,-excellent!

@gondolacrescent5 I think if he had actually made an organ out of pvc that generates sound like a regular pipe organ, the tone produced would be okay. Some people make 'tin' whistles out of pvc and they sound nice.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) products are everywhere and are dangerous to our health and environment from start to finish - in the factory, at home, and in the trash - releasing poisonous chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects. Don't be an idiot.
