    I'm presently making a similar set of smallpipes out of PVC, copper tubing, etc. I'll post some pics when I'm done.

    Laugh all you want...I have one of Doug Tipple's PVC Irish Flutes and it's phenomenal. No muss, no fuss, stays in tune...sounds great.

    PVC is the new African Blackwood.

    I made a set of pipes from PVC based on Dennis' plans a few years back. They're quite playable and while they don't have the fullness and sweet tone of a normal set of pipes, they're usable and quite the novelty to pull out in a group of pipers.
