The bellows on either side of this articulated bus bas air- capture and pump chambers, which pressurize the instrument. Notes can be a pre-selected song, random note pushes by crowds entering onto the keyed steps, or just horrid cartoony "I've been flattened by a piano and now walk like an accordion" sounds.-- RayfordSteele, Dec 01 2020 similar technology worm_20train [hippo, Dec 01 2020] Jimmy Shand's Bendybus Jimmy_20Shand_27s_20Bendybuscalum, Jan 05 2011 [pocmloc, Dec 01 2020] [-] No.
Better than an idea involving bagpipes, but only just.-- 8th of 7, Dec 01 2020 Yes to bagpipe bus version, with 8th inside it in a cage, a long and torturous journey ahead consisting of many bends and turns.-- xenzag, Dec 01 2020 I think the bus should (passively) control the sound, not songs or keys. 2 independent bellows (left side, right side, obvs), connected to 6 reeds; left bellows only, right bellows only, both piped together, and all sets through a pair of non- return valves to have a different note on blow and suck. So you would get different chords for acceleration, deceleration, left turn, right turn (and possibly changes for different radii, depending on exact set-up...).-- neutrinos_shadow, Dec 01 2020 We've done this here before-- pocmloc, Dec 01 2020 random, halfbakery
