Re: Developing sheet film in open-ended PVC tubes

Sandy,

I saw Blue Man Group on Jay Leno last night and they have some ingenious
percussion instruments that they have made out of PVC pipe—some sets of pipes look
almost like organ pipes.

Maybe they could fabricate a developing system for you that would play music
while you defvelop your film! heheheeheh
