Single Tube Phazer...

Anyone try this?
 I saw it on a drum set...a single plastic tube [3/8''] connected to the two first toms ... the ones in front of the snare [rack toms]...and his mouth.
 He was turning a little red from blowing and sucking on the tube while he hammered on the drums.
 Seems to me a similar method could be used on an enclosed speaker.
 The top ande bottom of the wave would get 'curved funny' when partial vaccume is created...and funny but different when pressure inside the cab is greater than the air pressure outside the cab...
 Had to post this as 'single tube phazer' ... the drums I saw this method used on was getting a killer phase tone to them...kinda sounded like the drums were 'breathing'.
 Maybe breath isn't strong enough to push and pull speakers, but a vaccum or bellows...ok I know it'ssounding funny...sometimes I like things that sound funny.
 Not exactly analog, but it's not digital either!!

You could use a pair of foot-controlled bellows...would look pretty mental!

I see no reason it wouldn't work on a guitar speaker enclosure like it did on those drums...fantastec effect!
