CP (sort of) Check out my new whistle!

Whistle
1

Made a new whistle. I like them a lot. They have a nice whistle timber. Still needs a little work to bring the top into balance a little better. Here are some pics and a bad video recording of me trying to play “The South Wind”. Understand that I play badly… Did I mention that my playing could improve? Just sayin…

The big picture

You can see the windway, if you look close…

Fipple and body separated

A link to a video of me trying to play the thing. (The video is 88 Megabytes. If you have a slow connection, you may be disappointed. Did I mention that my playing is… bad? :smiley: )

Hey Chuck, love the way you keep moving along!

The whistle looks great and sounding great too!

Wow, that clip took a long round-trip detour. :laughing:

If only shipping whistles was that easy. :slight_smile:

Yes, if only you engineers would get busy with your teleporters and remote fabricators.

The last few posts may not make much sense to most people, so I will explain:

I posted a video clip of me trying to play a tune on my new whistle and several people, HoopyMike among them, had trouble seeing it and there was nothing I could do with it. So MTGuru kindly made a audio-only version of the recording, which he sent to HoopyMike, who sent it to me. Then I posted it. I think that is sooo cool!

Thats at least as cool as teleportation and trans-molecular assemblers. Right? BTW: Have you ever heard of a Bose-Einstein condensate? Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose–Einstein_condensate#Unusual_characteristics. That stuff is possible and will eventually be a main-stream technology.
