Could you attach a PVC tube to a wind synth's mouthpiece to make a hands-free MIDI CC Breath Controller?

I've got a few spare wind synths lying around. A buddy of mine wants a MIDI breath controller for playing keys.

I'm wondering, could I rig up a wind synth to sit on the table, with a PVC tube attached and sealed around the mouthpiece, to make a hands free CC controller, to spare him from buying a dedicated controller?

Obviously the controller would spit out a single note, but the CC data from breath could be routed without issue. I'm mainly asking if it'd work regarding the air flow, I imagine moisture would be the primary issue.

He's not looking for the precision that we typically expect out of a pro wind synth, mainly as an additional modulation source.

teenage engineering's sidekick may look like a simple mixer for the EP's at first glance, but there's quite a bit more to it! It's a quick and simple 6i4o USB interface that you can power using your phone, great for multi-tracking on the go (it can also record the main mix!). It's got some very fun built-in FX powered by TE's new beat detection algorithm, and they can be applied one per channel or as a master FX. Two of the channels have a strip featuring EQ and Comp/Saturation.

There's a lot you can do with it! Uploading a walkthrough quite soon that shows off all the functions in a neat and tidy way.

Got a big commercial gig tomorrow where I gotta wear some crazy mask and put on a crazy high energy set, which is a strange thing to ask of an ambient musician. But I’m down!

OP-XY’s gonna run the show, OP-1f for gyroscope-driven leads and FX for electric guzheng and electric Ruan, Soma Terra for the good shit, Diosynth for windy leads and a handful of bamboo flutes.

Wifey rescued this little baby and she won’t let me rehearse in peace but it’s all good, I’ve been keeping her busy all day.
