Anyone into rubber?
Hi all,
My daughter and I made some basic 'Pan Pipes' tonight from various lengths of white PVC 15mm water pipe. To tune each pipe as we made it we wraped some masking tape round a jointing dowell till it was an interference fit inside the end of the pipe then tuned the note to her tennor recorder. So far we have 7 'pipes' ;-) For a better adjustable 'bung' I thought a short length of rubber 'bar' would be good. It could be lubricated for tuneing then trimmed flush with the end and finally locked in with some superglue etc. I tried a local Car Spares place thinking I might find a very thick 'O' ring or similar that I could cut up into 1" lengths but no luck? A Hoover 'upright' drive belt might also do the trick but I think it's a bit too small in section? So, anyone know an 'everyday' supplier of a rubber 'bar' that would fit snugly inside some 15mm Speedfit (is it) type PVC pipe (so 11-12mm OD rubber might do it?). All the best .. T i m |
