Yesterday I went to the store bought some electrisians pipe and a wooden stick and spend the evening making a whistle.
And it turned out surprisingly well . A Quiet, easy playable whistle with a very nice soft tone
This is great, making your own musical instrument that you can actualy use to play a tune.
Oh, and the costs. Pipe enough fore 4 whistles and wood fore 25 fipples at the price of 25 kr. (4 $)
Amasingly what you can do on the diningroom table with a saw, a knife and some sandpaper, I can’t wait til summer where we are planning to build a workshop in the garden. This won’t be the last whistle I will make.
Congratulations on joining the ranks of Whistle homemakers
I have been at it for 2 yrs now and have advanced to using anything
I can find that can be made into a whistle
There are several methods for making tonehole calculations .
the simple method of finding like size tubing to a factory whistle
and aligning the tubes and marking the spaces works I found a few
different web sites with tone hole claculators that are very effective
but take a little time to figure out.the members of this board are very helpful just ask
Well I didn’t make any calculations (Pure luck)
No, if you visit the website: http://science.univr.it/%7egonzato/whistle/ there will be a description on how to make a “Low Teck PVC Whistle”.
I was lucky to get pipes with the same dimentions as the description so I could just use the spacing in the description.
The description gives dimentions in both high and low whistles in various keys.
This evening I tryed to make an A whistle. Didn’t turn out as well as yesterdays D whistle but yet playable.
When playing the second A, lifting the first finger makes a high hollow missound. I wonder if anybody can give me a hint on what might be wrong I would be very happy.
