I would go trial and error. And as an experienced wind musician, the shape of the instrument would make a difference, but mostly in characteristics of the sound that are not relevant to it's medical effectiveness. The important thing is achieve 16 mhz, which is extremely slow. Middle C, in comparison, is set to a standard of 261.6 mhz. The Lung Flute would be tuned to a sub-contra low C.... 4 octaves below middle C on the piano, or 1 octave below the lowest C note the piano has. (16.35 mhz).
I would expect that not only the length is important, but the thickness of the 'reed.' Also, I noticed that at the very top of the lung flute, the tape starts off rather stiffly at about a 60 degree angle from the mouthpiece. I'm sure this is important to it's ability to hit the proper note, but I believe that the most important thing is to hit the right vibrational frequency, without regard to the other sound characteristics. It would take some experimentation, especially since I suspect my old ears are not capable of detecting such a low note.

Sure looks pretty simple to me, as are many of the alternative therapies I've been running into in recent weeks. Only $40 for one of these things sounds like a bargain for someone who really needs it. Of course, I don't want to wait until the FDA gets around to approving it and adding to it's cost. I'm guessing that with a little bit of patience, a plastic tube and some scotch tape someone could build one of these things that would work just as well. The length of the scotch tape would be the biggest issue. I'd plan on making it too long, and then tuning it by cutting off a half inch at a time until it was 'just right.' Cool!
