PVC Marimba

Tuned PVC pipes sounding something like a plucked cello!  He built this instrument himself.

Years ago, I briefly worked for the Blue Man Group doing sound.  Their PVC instrument was amazing and has since grown to ridiculous proportions for the Vegas show.  The microphone setup for it was pretty dizzying.
