Tool - Jambi

[al98]

Thought this would be the best place for this.

I seen Tool last night, it was really amazing. In the song Jambi adam jones(guitarist) uses is guitar and some sort of long tubed object in his mouth and uses his microphone aswell. Can anyone tell me what the tube is?

Thanks

well first off - i suggest doing your research before deciding to buy one - there seems to be a lot you should know before setting it up and all that jazz.

I myself have read into these and plan on ordering it this week, not sure though.

My friends and I were debating how you pronounce the song, anyone know for sure? Ex. Jam-bi, Yam-bi, Yom-bi, etc.

Well Jambi was the name of the genie in Peewee's Playhouse and it was pronounced Jam-bi. And since Jambi has lyrics about wanting to "wish" it all away then I think that would be the proper pronounciation.
