Flexible bocal for the Bate Anon serpent

An experimental adapter for the Bate Anon serpent to investigate changes in pitch with bocal length.

Uses a length of 12mm i/d, 16mm o/d tubing (such as 5/8" garden hosepipe) cut to length. 

The two parts "flexible bocal receiver" and "flexible bocal mouthpiece" bolted at 90 degrees to a batten and separated by a distance comfortable for the player. See the photograph. Avoid kinks in the tubing.
