Coke Bottle instrument and PVC Fujara

Two home made instruments - one from 2litre coke bottles and tyre valves - and the 'fujara' from standard PVC plumbing fixtures, a bit of garden hose and a bit cut off a shovel handle. The fujara was not quite in tune yet.

Q: About the Coke bottle instrument. How do you tune them? Does the tone depend on the size of the bottle or the amount of air pressure inside? Thanks, Rhonda

[Junkdojo]

Hi Rhonda. It only works with 2 litre bottles. Raise the note by increasing pressure. Release pressure to lower the note. HTH Paul

what happens if you get a puncture

[Junkdojo]

buy another bottle of coke! :)

Storage is a real pain so I just make up the caps and collect the bottles when I need them - Paul

if anyone noticed the plastic bottle 'somehow' were resonating a metallic sound, those notes were a keyboard in the background.

it was a joke....

[Junkdojo]

Hey Lord Hazzard - Clearly you haven't tried it. No joke, no samples or synths, just the cool acoustic properties of a pressurised container.

I'm wondering how you blow into the PVC garden hose instrument. Do you just use air or did you have to vibrate your lips as well? And how much air. I am wondering because I am designing a project that uses the wind outside to make music.

what's the psi for a C?

[BandFixItMan]

@profjaykay it only works with the new shape of cokeacola bottles that have the waist like a glass bottle.

Just righteous. Fanned.

impressive

[profjaykay]

I have been trying this and have not had success. I have taken my bottles up to 120 PSI testing along the way with no results. What PSI are your bottles? Also I believe that the standard american 2 liter bottle is shaped differently, would that have an affect?

[mcdance1311]

ive got all the stuff for the coke bottles but im not getting the same resonating sound.

should these make a difference:

shape of the bottle?

what i use to seal it? (my silicone wouldn't work)

do you know how many psi you have in there?

[acacerquita]

sorry but i didnt understand what did you put on the tire valve to make the sound, in dont have a good english & i didnt got it, could tou tell me, CONGRATULATIONS for your instrument!
