The story

Hello and welcome back, this tubular bells ver1.0

My Name is Les Cook from Maidstone in Kent England

This is my fourth Decent Sampler instrument.

It is the third instrument in the Music from Things project creations for Decent Sampler.

I hope it can be used for some projects, and I would love to see and hear the results.

This Physical instrument is another one I built for a music project I was running called “Music from Things”

www.musicfromthings.uk

This instrument is an experiment in creating hanging tubes like in a wind chime but using 15mm copper plumbing pipe.
I limited myself to one 3m length of tube to create the instrument.

Six Tubes were cut and hung to create a simple set of tubular bells for people to try.

The copper pipes tuning came out at about A#3 C4 C#4 D4 E4 and A4

This instrument was used in many interactive displays and instrument building workshops around Maidstone over the last year.
At the end of this project this instrument was re homed in a special needs school.

It was recorded using a Rode NT2 large diaphragm con microphone and a Zoom F3 recorder.
Sample editing, tuning was all done in Reaper.
Coding of the Decent sampler instrument was done with Sublime text.

Thank you for having a look and I look forward to any constructive comments.

Best wishes
