Slap Pipes

 

Visitors play music by striking a series of hollow PVC pipes with foam paddles. Fifteen pipes are cut to different lengths to create a variety of tones spanning two octaves. A support structure holds the PVC pipes in a vertical orientation, creating a fun visual and auditory experience. The size of the exhibit allows several people to collaborate and play the Slap Pipes at one time. A freestanding bin for the foam paddles is included.
