A Working Organ Pipe Made From Dog Food Cans

Leonard Solomon, a wonderfully inventive musician who plays instruments of his own imagination, presented his newest design, the “Dogfood Can Organ Pipe“.

the pipe i wanted to show you…is made out of a very common material in fact dog food cans. Now what I did is I cut off both ends of each can with a can opener and just soldered them together into a long tube…when I built this pipe out of dog food cans at the time I did not own a dog and I don’t waste food. No, I did not eat the dog food we had a very large cat that ate the dog food. …the world’s only dog food can organ pipe, except for the other one that I made.

Solomon also demonstrated how to make a an acrylic organ pipe, teaching basic principles that can be used when crafting organ pipes from other materials.
