  • This is a brilliant idea. Well done.

  • BAHAHAHAHA! I want one!

    Time to start collecting parts...

  • how do you make those?

  • i can bearly hear the different pitch!

  • I am writing about this instrument for homework, is he english/ american because I need to say what country it was made in! :p

  • American 

  • 5/5 for effort

  • I am constructing a similar organ out of pvc and clothespins. I want to use the clothespins as piano keys, but I'm not sure how to cut off the air with them. I tried aquarium tubing, but the clothespins aren't strong enough.

  • I will ask Aaron if he can tell me about what sort of tubing he used, and when to get it from

  • I would play it...

  • THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!

  • i love the blubbies - looks graet too !

  • hmm, nice design, but I dont know if it would get into the local church ^^ :D

  • I think that thing is one of the coolest looking instruments I've seen. Very unique!

    Dique

  • Bubble Concerto In G Minor :P

  • I'd say young Aaron is a very creative for being able to construct that organ. You must be doing your job right Mr. ericleonardson. Bravo

  • a fine instrument for musical plumbers!

  • That's Gurglaphonic!

  • you are bright and WILL go on to great things.

  • glub glub glub

  • This was a course titled "Instrument Construction" offered in the Sound Dept. at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where experimental and interdisciplinary approaches encouraged to using sound as a material for making art. I encouraged students to use their imagination and to use readily available materials. Some of them worked long and hard to make working instruments that have never existed before.

  • but i found it cool...

    i dunt get it...

    how u do it/

  • How would you know what that sounds like?

  • ¡¡¡ que original y unico!!!, nunca vi algo parecido...

  • awesome!

    the most original homemade instrument I've seen!

  • sounds like my toilet after TACO BELL! jk jk sounds pretty cool i guess just thought i crack a fresh 1 =D

  • Cracking a fresh one is what you do on the toilet after you eat Taco Bell.

  • I didn't enojy watching it,the sound of it is awful though it cost a lot of work to do such a "machine"

  • it's like the sound of gargling inside a drain pipe

  • SMOKE ON THE WATER AND FIRE IN THE SKY!!!!!

    DUDE I am telling you it sounds JUST LIKE MY BONG!!!!

    ROCK ON!!!

    After your done with "SMOKE ON THE WATER" can you play "FREE BIRD"?

    Awesome Thanks MAN!!!!

    AWESOME THANKS

  • I heard that sound in a bathroom one day and soon after that i saw a plumber there.

  • wat's with all the background noises ?

  • What's with all these lame "instruments" being featured.

  • lol

  • jep

  • oddmusic(dot)com/gallery/om068­25(dot)html

  • yup, that's the place :)

  • awesome

  • wow that sounds fcking awful sry dude but wow

  • No musical value.

    At all.

    This coming from a guitarist, which almost has no musical value.

  • awsome!

  • Creative, interesting, but quite possibly the most annoying instrumnet in the world. Perhaps in can be refined?

  • Sounds like a bunch of toilets flushing.

  • hmm...let me see...aww i got it..ITS STUPID!!!!

  • i thought bubbles were going to be like foaming out. You can barely see them

  • this sucks

  • What the heck its name sounded alright and now im listening to something from a different planet

  • This sounds annoying ... i thought it would sound cool NT

  • Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys would love it.

  • Thats not an invention.. I have been making those sounds in my bathroom for years.

  • hahhaa

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja­jajajjahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahjhajahjajhajhajhahjahj­ajhajhajjajajajhahjahjahjahjah­jajhahahjahjahjahjahjajhahjahj­ahjajhajhajhajhahjahjjahahjajh­ajhahjahjajhahjahjahjahahajhaj­ahaja

    i love you!! jajajajajajahahahahahah

  • sounds like shit

  • But it's supercool.

  • Unique indeed

  • bong tempo

  • lol

  • Awesome! you are good idea. good job

  • From what I see, tubes should have been placed in reverse order to make it more like organ or piano - the longest tube (with the lowest tone) on the left side and the shortest on the right.

  • yeah

  • A? Cool i guess.

  • uh...no offense, but it just sounds like guys burping, not an organ

  • The point?

  • it might not sound that amazing by it self, but it could make quite a good effect for a certian style of song. and just guessing here, but i think he had to make an intsrument for a school project... so thats the point

  • watch?v=f-RItNw-ET0

  • thats insane!!!

  • another douche who is playing with his toilet pipes

  • PVC+this guy=farts!

  • Hahaha

  • haha lmfao

    AWESOME THANKS

  • ROFL

  • thats an intresting thing you made.. but it hurt my ears to listen to.

  • man you need a girlfriend !!!! ya can have mine if you let me play with that :) :)

  • creative but that didnt come even close to the term *music*

  • dude, ITS PVC PIPE it doesnt have to be music its awesome :p

  • What is your definition of the term, "music"? I'm curious.

  • Wrong

    American Heritage Dictionary

    Music (myōō'zĭk) noun

    2. Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm.

    That instrument employed both harmony and melody, therefore it comes very close to the term *music*, so close in fact that it is. It may not have been good music, but it was music nonetheless.

  • Interesting idea, but it vaguely reminds me of when people try to sing while burping.

  • troublesome

  • haha it reminds me of spongebob!;p

  • Any plumber's pipe dream.

  • I thought I was gonna see bubbles come out of an organ, not this :(

  • wow, taht is very annoying.

  • hahahahahhahaha it sounded like crap but very creative genious design keep working on it bro! goodluck!

  • ummm killer bongs ummmm paranoid ummmm mental health

  • Keep working on it eh, too many backround bubbles like everyone said.

  • i can't believe you wasted your money on that piece of crap

  • Wow. It's a very, very rare thing that I find myself at a loss for words, but I just don't know how to respond to that. Kudos.

  • SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR

  • sounds like ur toilet is overflowing

  • my toilet sound like that when overflowing..lol

  • less background bubbles!

  • if only it wasnt constantly bubbling... some sort of valve that makes it so bubbles can only come up through the tube whose respective button you are pushing... just too much background bubbling for me... you know?

    very cool idea though... I like it a lot!

  • dusnt sound that good you can still make it better but awesome concept

  • i think you where making a bong and came up with that. lol jk

  • omg what noobs

  • i think this is pretty kool...kool comcept but sounds pretty annoying

  • wanna see funny videos? go to my account and watch!

  • I agree with blarfgaincentral.

  • Geez, why are people so close-minded now-a-days?

    I think this is a wonderful idea, and it takes a lot of mechanical skill to think and put together something like this.

  • sounds like my toilet when it wont go

  • If you want free Microsoft Points the right way, go to this video /watch?v=eNrj-DbRXj8 But hurry up as only ten people a day can do this!

  • This is so retarded, this guy must have failed, didn't he? You failed him or your class is retarded, too...

  • i play way better tunes on my bong. i promise.

  • its so REPULSIVE

  • sounds like a toilet having problems...

  • haha yea

  • LOL is true

  • That's actually rather annoying.

  • someone smokes too much pot....

  • I like stuff that widens my concept of "music" - and hopefully the one of others on youtube.

  • DUDE THIS TOTALLY SOUNDS LIKE MY BONG!!!!!!

    Right on!!!

    Play FREE BIRD!!!!!

  • this would mix well with a tesla coil audio output

  • and you probably gave him a c+ didn't you.

    :) just joking.

  • creative. ingenius. but now im deaf.

  • That was just annoying.

  • i hate you

  • thats hopefully the last time anybody will try that again...

  • dont quit ur day job

  • lmao tht was soo fukin shit m8

    i could make them noises with my ass

  • can't recognize the song, but the video is funny.

  • This video /watch?v=M4TDeMPfYlU will show you how to get free Microsoft points for Xbox Live,but hurry only 10 people a day can do this!!

  • I can see the possibilities for use in Electronic music. Sounds cool.

  • Philistines, all of you! Embrace the creativity. You can't make progress without trying something else at least once.

  • very unique, must have been a lot of hard work

  • OMG you get to blow bubbles in your milk without getting in trouble! LOL I hope he got an "A".

  • sounds like the boiler room of a sinking ship..

  • sounds like shit XD

  • sounds like shit

  • part of the song reminded me of that korean folk song...

  • very good but if it suposed to be like a piano arn't the keys the wrong way round?

  • It's really creative, but it doesn't really sound like music. However, gratz on making an instument working on plastic buttons, tubes, and water :D

  • So, the question to you folks is, would YOU have the creativity and dedication to build something like this?

    If you can't prove that you do, then you have no right to call it shit.

  • Yes anything we can't do ourselves or don't want to do is amazing... because thats how the world works. (sarcasm)

  • Lmfao- it definatley sounds like a toilet wtf don't quit your day job. Maybe if you used an air compressor instead of a fkn balloon and fixed the leaks THEN you might have something and use wider tubes and more water.

  • Wow sounds like toilet XD haha crap

  • So that's what our tax dollars are spent on at the Universities?

    Sounds like my stomach at times.

    Worthless junk - in my humble opinion.

  • your tax dollars pay for private art schools?

    it does sound like crap though

  • YOU - the tax payer - are not competent enough whether your tax dollars which are spent on at some educational institution are spent for a thoughtful reason. Experiments are necessary to gain experience in a specific field. That's an experiment and I'm pretty sure the constructor of this machine learned many thing during his work. Oh and guess what - you need money for experiments.

  • As someone else wrote - if it sounds like a toilet than it must be a toilet.

    So - let's go and invent a new toilet that doesn't sound like the "bubble organ" - Sorry! No one can convince me that some genious college professor thought that this was a great result of the experiment or project that they were working on.

    Come on folks - let's build a new laboratory building for just such experiments. NOT!

  • @PulaskiClub

    I will humbly agree with your humble opinion..

    Moronic garbage.

  • went from bong to billboards

  • unda da seaaaaa ;D

  • Oh MY !

    Let me guess !

    White people, Or phillipino !!!!!

  • Pour some Dawn into those tubes, then you'll have a REAL bubble organ LOL

  • WOW its so >> boring!!!

  • sounds like toilet flush

  • Sounds like a bong hit.

    -Ralph Peterson

    Daily Entertainment Guide

  • Were any bongs used in the making of this organ?

    Would be badass if you could have 3 people ripping a bong at the same time and it make a chord. xD

  • Funny and very imaginative! Congrats!

  • a turd in one of the pipes may have made it sound better, but GREAT VIDEO dude! My musical talent lies only with the armpit.

  • wow

  • this instrument should be used in some movie! hororr will fit best, i guess

  • for some bizarre reason, this reminds me of the first (and last) time I ever gargled. Someone told me my cold would go away if I gargled water, so I tried it, choked, spilt my glass of water, slipped over on the wet slate, dropped the glass (which smashed) smacked my head on the slate, passed out and woke up 10 minutes later with blood pissing out of my arms from the broken glass. I no longer gargle.

  • i couldn't stop laughing at ur mis-fortune:)

    ....

    im sorry:(

  • oh darn i was expecting to see bubbles out the top

    but still cool

    gargle organ is cool invention :)

  • That was God awful. Congrats. Though, honestly, I'd build one myself if I could.

  • Agreed :)

    It was awful yet brilliant -_-"

  • Sounds like a mix between a bong and a toilet.

  • Very creative...But a little weird...

  • im scared...=P

  • what the...?

  • I like how there's mold growing in there and stuff, and it sounds good too !

  • I sound the same when I gargle in the morning.

  • very pirates of the caribean...

  • at least you get an a in effort

  • This is a prime demonstration of the phrase " looks good on paper". Nice try fellas, lol.

  • play the SpongeBob theme
