Why not try playing a Disney song? I think that will sound awesoms

[snubbyj]

@mentor01979 I have ;-) In fact, I have a whole Disney medley which you can check out on my channel.

@snubbyj Is it hard to learn? I took piano for a while, and I sing. So I'm familiar with notes and the musical scale whatnot, but I don't want to spend two/three hundred odd some dollars making it if I can't play it.

[snubbyj]

@TheWyman98 Since you have a musical background, you won't have any problem with it. Anyone can pick up the paddles and start making sounds, but those who can recognize that the notes are set up like a keyboard and have a passion for playing it, then they can make some awesome music. I self taught myself how to play my PVC Instruments and was really bad at first but I was passionate enough that I worked hard and was able to get good at it, so I'm sure you can too ;-)

How do U figure ABS PVC is cheaper than standard PVC? A 2"x10' of PVC pipe is only $3.01 @ Lowe's. 3"x10' is $4.05. ABS pipe however, does not even come up on Home depot's site. It's far more expensive than standard PVC. Plus it only comes in 2' length's (@ least from Lowes anyway). It's $8.58 for that! I plan 2 build a project prototype with PVC (not an instrument), I was excited that ABS pipe was already black so I would not have 2 paint the standard pipe. What gives???????

[snubbyj]

@evh7775150 Hmm that's interesting... Well, maybe ABS is not cheaper... All I remember was that I was originally wanting PVC, but my dad and I ended up going with ABS for some reason. I remember the large supply of 2" ABS vent elbows that Home Depot had in comparison to the PVC elbows was part of the decision factor as well as the price, but I guess not. So, I'm sorry about that. Apparently I didn't have my facts entirely straight when I made this video.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA" *ahem* "No." I lol'd.

[snubbyj]

@kdogg452000 It's just a wooden particle board.

[MrRIXY14]

I would really love it if you had a go at man overboard by blink-182 I love this song and think it would sound great on your pipes can you message me back if your gunna have a bash at it, thanks snubbyj

[ThePinkNinja1001]

@TheWyman98 yes you,re right, but i don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on the stuff period i would only do that if it was sooooo worth it.

[ThePinkNinja1001]

@jedidave100 he plays piano so i think yes.

[ThePinkNinja1001]

[yisoonshin12]

[jedidave100]

hey quick question have you thought of doing collaborations with other instruments? such as guitar or maybe even piano?

[TheWyman98]

Thanks! I'm now fairly certain that I will make one. Keep up the great work!
