THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!!
I am so excited. If I knew how to put sound on here I would let you all hear it. I am not that good at playing yet, but I got it in tune.
I used 3/4 cpvc pipe and it is 21 1/16" long. It is a little hard to play with the finger stretch but it works. I will just have to learn how to stretch.
Thanks again…

How about you video yourself playing, put it on youtube, and then give us the link? I’d like to see it!
I do not know how.
Can you tell me how to do it?

Congrats on the whistle, I made mine today and had a hard time cutting the stuff, what were you using?
Pipers grip.
One of the videos here will give you a great tutorial on how to use pipers grip.
I used cpvc pipe 3/4" my whistle is 21 3/16" long and it took a little time to tune it. It sounds pretty good. I used wooden dowel and cpvc… that’s it. It is not too hard. I will get better at it over time.
I tried to video capture the whistle and put it on you tube but youtube does not recognize my server. My capturing devices are not working on my computer. I will try and use my wife’s computer tomorrow and see if I can get it on there that way.
I am really excited about learning to play and make these wonderful instruments. Just a bit aggravated at trying to put it on video for all to see. Thank you for your time…

And this is my home made low D whistle made from 3/4" NIBCO PVC tube.

Well done, guys! 
Nice!
Surely if you can figure out how to make a whistle, you can get a sound on the net. 
Good for you both!
Very cool work! It looks completely professional. And you´ve got your own label too!
Could you make me a low whistle too? And if so, how much would it be?

Hi guys!
Thanks for your opinions
To make my CPCV and aluminium whistles I used the description from webpage of Denis Havlena:
http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/low-d.htm
There are specifications for copper low D whistle but I used them for location of the fingerholes in my whistles.
**LAYING OUT THE LOCATION OF THE THE FINGER HOLES:
(For an easier method, using a photocopier, see the appendix)
Once you have the tube of your low D copper whistle cut to
the proper length to sound a low D note, carefully measure
the distance from the mouthpiece “lip” to the right hand end
(open-end) of the instrument.
The center of the 1st hole (the hole nearest the mouthpiece) should be located 44.74% of this overall “lip” to open-end measurement.
The center of the 2nd hole should be located 52.47% of this overall “lip” to open-end measurement.
The center of the 3rd hole should be located 60.38% of this overall “lip” to open-end measurement.
The center of the 4th hole should be located 68.82% of this overall “lip” to open-end measurement.
The center of the 5th hole should be located 74.93% of this overall “lip” to open-end measurement.
The center of the 6th hole (the hole nearest the open end of this whistle) should be located 84.10% of the overall “lip” to open-end measurement.
How to convert these percentages into actual measurements:
I don’t remember the holes dimmensions becouse I sold this whistle. I drilled the holes until the pitch was good. I used Yamaha electronic tuner.
I hope it’ll help you.
Actually I don’t make whistles for sale, sorry. But in near future…(probably I’ll start in june)
