+The Thongophone also known as a Tubulum and Slapophone, is a long pipe drum often made from segments of PVC tubing of different length arranged like a keyboard. This instrument is popularized by both [[Uakti]] and The [[Blue Man Group]]. It is played by smacking shut the tops of the tubes using a piece of rubber like material such as a sandal (thong) hence the name of the instrument.  \\

+The Thongophone can very visually as an instrument, largely due to the homemade nature of the majority of the instruments. Being made from readily available PVC tubing has allowed a great deal of varation in the pipe arrangements depending on the overall lengths and widths used.
