Poking around on wikipedia, it looks like the idea of making a
short loud conical bore double reed instrument is really common:

I could make a cylindrical one pretty easily, along the same lines
as a pvc penny whistle, but I don't have good ideas on how to make
a conical one. Perhaps by buying several sizes of pvc and putting
them together where each one's outer diameter matched the next
one's inner diameter, then removing the part I don't want? Sounds
like a lot of work.
