Whistle Makers Advice

Whistle
1

So after seeing a couple recent posts on whistle making and hitting the link the pvc wistle website and then finding a book on whistle making I have decided to take the plunge and attempt to make a few for myself. Any other websites out there people know of? Any advice from current whistle makers? Wish me luck heh

Good luck with your adventure I have made appx. 100 whistles in the last few years for friends,family and the trash can :smiley: It took a while before I was satisfied with my fipples though, almost a year to be honest I found the curved windway the best and easiest to manufacture. I work by hand mosty no lathe yet again good luck have fun with it
