I've done this, at the price of a 2nd hose to experiment with in advance. I think that I needed 2 (3?) full arm-lengths, so it was easy & fun to measure out in public. Best to cut it a bit long so as to tune (with the piano?) by cutting off little bits until tuning is satisfactory. For an encore, you can cut off a bit more and finish up with say, the Mozart #3 rondo. The 16th-note run near the end is a crowd pleaser. I used a box-cutter knife instead of scissors, but I was always afraid that I would hurt myself with it. Practice!
