Thanks for checking it out. I am addicted to making wind instruments now (even though I don't consider myself a wind player). These PVC creations sound surprisingly good.

Thanks. I hope to see a lot of folks make these in the near future. They're all really easy.

Why does this channel get so few views? It's Massively musically inspiring. I just don't get it.

I appreciate that. It's hard to figure out what the KZfaq algorithm likes. The channel is still fairly young but it's growing quickly. Hopefully it takes off at some point. I do this hoping to inspire someone so your comment was great to read. Thanks.

Nice collection of homemade PVC instruments. I am building a ukulele with my 7 year old son and maybe one of these will be our next project.

I post these vids hoping they're helpful to someone else so that's good to hear. Even if it wasn't what I originally expected. I appreciate the out of the box thinking.

New visitor to your channel, longtime DIY instrument maker. I often use PVC pipe in my efforts because I worked as a plumber for many years. This is a great, informative video. I'd like to share a few things I've learned. One is that heating and warping the tubing for a homemade digeridu enhances the sound and playability by creating a bit of back-pressure in the pipe. I'm currenty working on a membrane clarinet, using the same basic methods you covered in this video, and having a bit of trouble tuning the finger-holes. I've decided that I will make it a 7-hole pipe, with the hole closest to the far end usually open. I found that closing the last hole brings out a very low bass tone. I may use a small split piece of pipe to cover that bass hole, and see if that makes the clarinet play in low register. And, I'm going to make a bass kazoo, pretty much the same way you made yours, but with bigger pipe, and to be played using my bass voice. I have liked the video, and will subscribe. Glad to have met you here.

Thanks for checking out the video. I really appreciate it. I’ve been pretty impressed with the so nice qualities of PVC.

The thing with wind instruments is that they don't rely much on resonance from the material. It's all just the movement of the column of air.

Question: do you think I could make a quadruple huaca, or a drone flute out of PVC? Also, you mentioned not liking the spread fingering on one of your Native American flutes -- there's another tutorial which refers us to a website with a flute hole calculator (guessing you know this, but just in case) and using that calculator spacing and hole diameters can be changed to achieve specific notes. Thanks, enjoyed your video!

I'm not the expert on wind instruments but I would imagine you could make any wind instrument from PVC. It actually has similar sonic properties to wood.

I rewatched the Native American flute build video after I watched this to refresh my memory. Good job on the build by the way. Have you determined what key the flute is in?

@musicalmiscellany Жыл бұрын

I guess I didn't mention that in the video. According to Charlie's tutorial, the formula should produce a flute in A (minor). I've put mine on the tuner and it's a little flat (you could call it a sharp G# or a flat A) but it's definitely A-ish. He goes on to talk about how the original Native flutes were rarely tuned to an exact pitch because the tribes tuned them by ear and then used their first flute as a template for future flutes. After knowing this, I kinda like that it's a little out of tune but if you wanted to mess with the length a bit, I'll be you could get it perfect.

@@musicalmiscellany Thanks Kale. I've watched some of Charlie's videos in the past and I thought I remembered that being the key.

@@SouthernCeltMS A Min is a great key on a native flute because it allows you also play in C Maj.

There is an error in the plan you followed building the membrane reed instrument. The top hole is supposed to be on the back of the pipe and covered by the thumb. I can't comment on the accuracy of the instrument's tuning as I've not built this particular one.

@musicalmiscellany Жыл бұрын

Thanks for checking it out. It’s not an error, it was left off on purpose. There’s nothing inherently correct or incorrect about the number of holes. It just means you can play less notes. I actually wish I would’ve only used 5 holes because I don’t like the fingering pattern.

Hi. It's not koncavka, it's called KONCOVKA, pronounced "Conzzovca" in Slovak, because it's original Slovak instrument. The name comes from a word koniec, which means the end. The name wants to say, that you cover the instrument at the end of it...
