Programmable Flute Project

Designed for the Make it Loud competition, I thought it would be a unique idea to combine a flute with a music box. Being that it is 3D printed, I went one step further to make it so the holes could be 'programmed' to play the notes in sequence. The holes can be plugged (just like your fingers would) with inserts, then as the housing rotates around, it will play the notes in the sequence. The slits in the flute are to allow air to always flow through to prevent a flat note between the other notes, such as the sound you get when you plug all the holes of a flute. I'm also experimenting with different plugs for the end to change the pitch.

This is an experiment; I'm not sure if the very wide diameter needed to add the hole series will make for a good flute. I DO know plastic flutes exist and I have followed a blog on making PVC tin whistles for advice in this design. I doubt a plastic flute will ever sound AS nice as a metal one, but prototyping is what 3D printing is for, amiright?
