3.14-gauge pipes
3.14-gauge pipes
Plural: sets of 3.14-gauge pipes
If you ever need the play the "Sonata for Kate Monday" or tune in the key of i, these are the pipes for you! In practice, they only seem to attract animals and the occasional confused child. Since you're neither an animal control specialist nor a childcare professional, it's probably best to leave it to your understudy.
Who knows? After a while, they might actually get good at the pipes.
