The Pitch of The Pitcher
The Pitch♪er. Can you see that little musical note? I hope you can, because that’s what’s up here. Music. See the pitcher (or the glass, or the tin,) or anything else that contains liquid and works in this way: flick the container with your finger. It makes a sound. Drink some of the liquid, and flick it again. It makes a different sound. How does this work into a plan for another unique “Mactastic” invention? Look ahead!
There is noone quite like Mac Funamizu. He can churn out wild quality ideas like they’re so many candy bits from a bag. The Pitch♪er works like any other pitcher except for the tuning bar handle and the mallet which strikes the bar.
As you can see in the simple chart below, the higher the liquid level, the higher the note. If the liquid is gone, the note is low!
Designer: Mac Funamizu

A rather imprecise tuning device, what kinda makes it useless. But interesting concept, though.

He does churn out ideas, but about the quality aspect of his hologramphones and whatnot… Not so sure about that.
This design is one of those again…so it’s just supposed to make a “bling-blong” sound when you pour something from it? Why? Can’t be about knowing how much liquid there is, as you will feel, or better yet see the amount if the holder is transparent. So making a tone and then making another tone, having an irregular amount of liquid would result in an irregular tone…
Okay I really need to stop commenting on his designs, I obviously can’t find anything good in them.

totally agree.

if it was transparent then it would be like any other pitcher, how boring. this is great, maybe not life-changing. but it is a fun interactive design.
