Five plastic plumbing pipes stuck out the top. The pipes, mounted on a wooden frame, curved at the bottom. |

that isn't the instrument, nor the student, described by the first paragraph. the pictured student and instrument are described later in the news story.
Speaking of Blue Man Group, (mentioned in the article) many years ago I was filling out an application to join one of the BMG companies. As it turns out, I am too short to be a Blue Man.
