You could also probably just make a shitty/unique one out of PVC pipe, a handsaw, and a drill bit.

Or maybe even just core out a stick of dried bamboo?

I used ti have one that was a hollow bamboo tube with a beeswax covered top. I have seen pvc used also but the sound is different, which is the case for any material.

At one point, myself and some college buddies rented a townhouse after we all graduated.

In the garage, I stumbled upon a bamboo stick, maybe a bit wider than a thumb, pretty long though.

I held it aloft to examine it... it had a carb and a bowl.

We were the first renters at this place, the couple had moved but decided to rent out to us.

So basically I found my landlord's custom/jerry-rigged bamboo uh, 'peace pipe', I think is what we called it.
