Someone who should know better - one of the presenters on our local classical music station CFMX-FM - announced authoritatively the other night that the serpent was "like a large flute". I suppose that in the sense you cover holes to change pitch he's right but puuuhhhleease

Anyway, my son and I built a serpent out of plumbing parts from Home Depot, covered in naugahyde to make it look authentic, for his Grade 4 music class project a couple of years ago - but it ended up being in Bb not C - sorry.

Cool! Any chance you might remember how you did it or have some plans leftover and share these? Sort of like the "Hoseaphone".
