Here I show you how I make a tin whistle.
Tunes played in the video:
1. Danny Boy
2. Ev Chistr 'Ta Laou (Cider Drinking Song)
3. Plaisir d'Amour
4. You Raise Me Up
5. Dans Mod Koh a Vaod (Old Fashioned Dance)

8. Y Deryn Pur (The Gentle Dove)
All music is played by me. I also sell my handmade tin whistles, in keys of high D, high C, alto G, and low D. Please contact me if you are interested.

You should move the holes up so as to not be too large. I cast my plugs from Hydracal in the same size pipe. A perfect fit with no trimming. Michael

Thanks for sharing, I assume that you can also make a "Low D" using the same process with different but proportional measurements?

@aronasmundurjonasson3175 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! Normally, by doubling all the lengths you should get a whistle that's an octave lower

@lukehebert6207 2 жыл бұрын

One word of caution: for the lower whistles like low D, the lowest two finger holes are very far apart if you keep these proportions. I suggest slightly moving the last hole upwards towards the mouthpiece and widening it until it's in tune and doing the opposite with the second-to-last hole (move it slightly away and lessen the diameter) to achieve a more even finger spacing. Happy making!

Did I miss something, or was the tuning a tad sharp when he said it was the right pitch? Does the whistle need to be sharp before you start tuning the holes?

thanks for this tutorial , nice job ! Now : an IMPORTANT CAUTION for your audience : industrial PVC is teratogenic ; that is, it causes genital malformations, and other whatnots due to its components. I have been using pvc for a long time to make flutes, but always with an intermediate part that preserves the oral mucosa from any contact with this plastic.

@verandi3882 6 жыл бұрын

i have found an old pvc pipe on the roof of the building and I have been planing for like about four days to start making a flute out of it , but it has a strong irritating plastic smell even after I washed It , the smell is bad enough to give me a headache , how should I deal with it ?

@ALAINBRAULIO 6 жыл бұрын

i think recycling old pvc should be reserved for other purposes than making instruments. Plastics may remain a long very time in the environment, but their qualities rapidly decline. Its FLEXIBILITY vanishes, and it makes it very breakable and hard to carve. Better use new pvc, or not too old.

@ALAINBRAULIO 6 жыл бұрын

and remember : poisonous ! => put some stable material between your mouth and the mouthpiece. Stick a slice of wood in the case of traverse flute, or splice the mouthpiece with a thin cotton rope, whitch you can stick with molten wax (put softened wax on the surface of your knot, then heat it will make it rub in and stick the whole toghether).

Thank you for your insightful comment and discussion about PVC. I write "PVC pipe" as the material for the purpose of this video, which is intended for international audience, but the actual pipe I use is what is called "VE pipe" in Japanese (a type of electrical conduit), which is more easily obtainable in Japan and suitable for whistle making. The walls of Japanese PVC pipes are too thick and that also makes the whistle quite heavy. Different industrial standards in different countries, I suppose. This video is a starter guide and it is my hope that the people who watch this video can find whatever material that is suitable for whistle making in their country, whether PVC, VE pipe, or even metal pipes or bamboo.

@HTrimegistos 4 жыл бұрын

I think the holes got too big in relation to the pipe diameter. Maybe if you go up all the holes you can get a flute with holes that are better suited to the tubular diameter, so the instrument will be less breathy. Good luck.

Too big windway-labium distance (too hard to overblow), too big and low finger holes (hard to overblow again)

@lingwhistlemaker8472 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment and insight. As you point out, the finger holes on this particular whistle turned out to be quite large, because of the sample whistle from which I made the template and because of the position of the template. The whistle plays very well, though, and there is no problem closing all the holes with average fingers. The holes can be made smaller by moving the template slightly up (towards the mouthpiece) when drilling the holes.

@AlexeyKulentsov 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, with large holes, the sound becomes more solid, this is an advantage, but this reduces the Q factor of the channel. How to avoid such problems: Take a thin rubber band, a little stretch along the cylindrical sample. Note the inner end of the windway, the centers of the holes and the end of the barrel. Now take your sample, already set to the lowest note, but without holes. Tighten the rubber band with marks so that the windway and the end of the barrel coincide with the marks. Mark the center of the holes. It works good even with very different tubes and different keys of sample and copy.

@lingwhistlemaker8472 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for commenting again. I have used the rubber-band method in the past, and it worked quite well for smaller whistles. My methods have evolved since then and I don't use it any more, but it is particularly useful when you don't have a sample whistle to make a template from in the same key as the one you want to make. For example, if anyone wants to make a C or Bb whistle but only has a D whistle, they can use the rubber-band method instead of the masking tape template I demonstrated in the video.

Hi, why C# is considered as higher than D?

@lingwhistlemaker8472 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your question. C# is half a note lower than D. In other words, if you play a C whistle with all the holes covered, you get the note of C; with the bottom hole half-covered, you get a C#; and finally, if you cover all the holes but the bottom one, you get the note of D, which is one note higher than C. I hope that answers your question :-)
