Leaf blowers, powered by gas or electricity could be arranged into a new form of musical instrument. Placing the Leaf Blowers (N instruments ) on a rotating platform would be an entirely new experience; the Hammond organ of the 21st century.
The Hammond Organ

A reassuringly mediocre musical instrument. [Aristotle, Apr 07 2010]

Could you help me with my concern that there would be too
much gas engine noise? - |
|
| |
[Mustardface]: Certainly. I'd suggest lorazepam, 0.5 mg per
os, repeat x1, PRN. |
|
| |
This is like a good idea that you haven't bothered to finish. |

As I understand it, each pipe would amplify the engine noise of one leaf blower at its length-determined resonant frequency. Correct? |
|
| |
Some form of flap or diversion would need to be mounted to switch each pipe on and off, unless this is intended as a drone instrument. |
|
| |
It appears to be an horrific and devilish instrument of torture. My goodness, you may have invented something more despicable than bagpipes. [+] |

I would think one leaf blower would be enough, and it would be simple enough to direct the stream of air into a supersized panflute. |
|
| |
Does it still function as a leaf blower though? |
|
| |
It appears to be more like a Merry-Go-Round for motorheads. Can we ride on it? |

[BunsenHoneydew] Internal combustion engines have
replaced steam engines in so very many applications. So, it's
only fitting that the steam calliope should be replaced by
these gasoline-powered bagpipes. |

I don't know why but this seems like it would fit very
well in a David Lynch movie. |
