Can glass bongs become wind instruments in the right musically-trained hands?<\/p>\n

Probably not. But that didn\u2019t stop the team at Flower Co.<\/u><\/a>, a wholesale cannabis supplier in California, from seeing if it could be done. In a marketing video that\u2019s part parody, part honest attempt, the company set out to answer whether \u201cwater pipes\u201d can replace organ pipes.<\/p>\n

Ted Lichtenberger, one of the co-founders of Flower Co., told MERRY JANE that the video\u2019s motif was borne from a cacophony of stoned thoughts. \u201cWhen we first started, we wondered if it was even possible,\u201d he said. \u201cBut as it got going, it proved to be incredibly difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lichtenberger and his business partner, Tony Diepenbrok, auditioned dozens of local candidates for the ensemble, though classical music was not anyone\u2019s forte \u2014 including the so-called musicians\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of them didn\u2019t have a significant musical background, as much as they had a background in cannabis,\u201d Litchenberger said.<\/p>\n

So, what does a bong symphony sound like in the wrong, not-musically-trained hands? Check out the video below to find out.<\/p>\n
