After several tries, I finally ended up a nice looking pvc whistle with clean lines and logically spaced, logically sized holes that is [almost] perfectly in tune and sounds REALLY nice!
I’m so happy! Hah hah hah! Next project: a Low D whistle in pvc. Then on to copper! I’m having more fun than a barrel full of monkies!
Awesome, keep at it that looks pretty nice.
Groovy! 
good job 
To think that I’d always believed “seriously annoyed” would describe a barrel full of small monks . . .
To think that I’d always believed “seriously annoyed” would describe a barrel full of small > monks > . . .
Well, yeah! I guess that would describe a barrel full of monks, but I was talking about a barrel full of monKIES.
Yes, yes . . . monk-ies . . . small monks.
I believe you were thinking of monkees, err, no . . . monkeys. 
I 'spose that monkettes is wrong also?
I wish that I couln’t believe that I misspelled pub! Made my day!
Unless the monks are very small indeed, yes.
Heh heh heh!
Well done! Looks great. ::envious::
What? Huh?
opps!
SB, looks good!
Looks good! So… sound clips? hmmm?
I’m having fun like you. Just thought I would show my creations also. I make the fipple without a beak, so the fipple is played to the back. I’m going to try pvc for a while and have just ordered Acetal/Delrin for the fipples.
I was really helped by someone on the message board telling me about TWCalc (Tin Whistle Calc, from JubileeMusic.com).

Whats the black stuff?
Looks like linoleum or something similar.
Thats what I was thinking.
OK, I’ll admit it! The black stuff doesn’t look great! 
It is two coats of acrylic paint applied with a brush, then the whole whistle had a couple of coats of spray lacquer. But that leads to my question: What is the best and easiest way to put on a durable finish on copper? I suspect that nickel plating like O’Brien does (beautifully, from the pictures I’ve seen) requires some expensive equipment.
I should get my first O’Brien whistle in the next day or so, so I’ll enjoy getting a close look at a good job. But my black stuff doesn’t look too bad–from a distance!

I thought it looked like the graphite tubing that they make fishing rods or golf clubs out of. There’s a question ? Has anyone tried to make a whistle out of graphite ? Some of the heavy fishing rods have a taper built into them and just might work for a nice conical bore whistle. Hmmmmm ?
Have a Nice Day and Fun Whistling !!
