Wow! What are the resonation tubes made out of? Can you describe the process of tuning each key?

[โ€“] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The resonators are simple PVC piping of various diameters! Tuning those was dead simple, just cut a section out, put a cap on one end then bang it with a hammer to produce a tone, then just chop a bit off to raise the pitch,

For the keys it was a bit more complicated, I typed out a comment giving the basics and linking to the blog I used to figure it out though!
