PVC Instrumentalists Assemble!

So you think you want to be a Blue Man or Blue Man Group musician and you want to build your very own blue man inspired instruments? Ask the best tube talkers the tough questions to get you started. You can also share Blue Man Group inspired songs or remixes and share recording techniques and more.

Thank you so much, in trying to make the midi cymbalom and the airpole, and the paint drums!
Let me know if you want parts list/instructions on anything!
I would love some part lists/instructions for the cymbalom, and paint drums!
Why don't you email or text me and we can discuss the creation of these instruments!

I don’t think I’d give your number or email out publicly, as this board is viewable by non-users, they just have to register in order to post. Just looking out for you. We do have a private message system and an “add friend” system on here so you can send messages privately.

Hello! I'm Sam! I've built a few PVC instruments and they mainly revolve around the models BMG use. I "built" my first one when I came home after seeing my first show back in 2012 and my latest being a 3 sectioned instrument I play with my cousins for our annual BMG tribute show.
I've made (or attempted to make):

The Astor mid and high range
Current Vegas bass and mid range
Compressed bass PVC on wheels (the wheels are the most important lol)
Last but not least, the 3 pipes that started it all!

The images are too big to send so here's a google doc if anybody would like to view them

Hi there! i know its been a while lol but on your old website, it has the old high range instructions, but it doesnt have the whole layout, do you have the full one including the range? example: c4, e5, etc. those are just random lol
Thanks!
