That’s because he had what appears to be the highest and lowest note (based on the size of his tubes) out of the group and usually the very highest and lowest notes aren’t used as much as the ones in the middle of the spectrum in a song like this

Cut the pipe to make a less loud noise get a bigger pipe to make louder noise, get a wider pipe to make it deeper and get a less wide pipe to make it sharper
@Henk - Can’t tell if that’s a joke. Hope it’s not. You’re a horrible person if you actually think that. And if it’s a joke, don’t make jokes like that.
This is seriously impressive, both the arrangement and performance. I can't even imagine where to begin figuring out who should play which notes at what time, how to leave enough space for people to switch instruments, etc. On top of all of that it's memorized! Truly awesome
Didn’t expect to start to cry today because of Boomwhackers. You just all look so happy and this is so unique and cool, and it reminds me I am horribly depressed and will probably never be this happy and I’m too apathetic to work on any hobbies. What you’re doing is very cool, and thank you for sharing it with us.
