Playing with Helium

Author: Gordon (NZ)

Something I'd love to try sometime.... playing an instrument after a good breath of helium.
It makes the human voice go uncontrollably up about an octave (because of the low density of the gas, presumably allowing the larynx to vibrate faster). I had fun with that once but didn't think of playing an instrument. It must have the same effect on blowing instruments.
Anybody tried it?
