- Easy to make, takes only minutes, cheap AND it sounds great.
If you want, you can tune your flutes with a online tuner (guitars), works great. A fun project for the whole family :) - Zábava
Thank you thank you THANK YOU. I have a project due tomorrow where we have to make a DIY instrument and I haven't started and this is so quick and easy. THANK YOU.
welcome :) and thank you for watching
Kate Salazar same with me but it's not quite working
omg same! It's 1:00 AM right now and I woke up remembering I have a project due tomorrow. Thanks so much dude for this flute!
I have spent months researching into building marimbas and discovered an awesome resource at Delfords magic plan (google it if you're interested)
Keteh same
At first I thought it was fake because I did not know how to blow it correctly so I watched a tutorial on how to play it. Thank you for posting it works great!
Nice video thanks.
Straw standard lengths (best to produce octve notes):
1: 19.5 cm
2: 17 cm
3: 15.5 cm
4: 14.5 cm
5: 13 cm
6: 11.5 cm
7: 10 cm
8: 9.5 cm
Lovely but does anyone know what this is in inches?

Hey Armin, Just wanted to let you know that your efforts recording this video really saved the day for my child. There are so many "homemade" instruments that look like instruments but are really unplayable. This one works! We used an online tuner and set the pipe up to play Ode to Joy really easily by picking a designated colored straw that was different from the rest. Thanks!!!
Thank you so much! This worked incredibly well and my son is off to deliver his home instrument project today. We used Starbucks straws and they worked great. We made a C-major scale, and in the process, my son learned the difference between a whole tone and a semi-tone. (On the first trimming of the fourth note, we made an F# !!!)
wow how cool. happy I could help
Thank you Maestro. I enjoyed watching your video very much and I like the music of Pan pipes so I may try to make a set
Really like all the bows. Awesome
Beautiful!! I've always wanted a tiny pan flute.
Always wanted a pan flute but never had the money. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
welcome! and thank you for watching
I'll try to do it. I hope I don't burn the house down though.
How do you burn a house down with a straw?
Ohhh you probably get it stuck in a microwave
Love! Love! Love this as a Post Apocalyptic - no other musical instruments around - kind of deal!
Armin you are genius!👊🤣👌
That bacame my son's homework,we just did it and guess what.It's working thanks to you Armin Hirmer.Thank you!!!!!!! :)

:D danke
I needed this for a school project thank you so much! Mine sounds a little different though I think it's because I could only find reusable straws
Archer and musician. Does that mean that you're a bard? Sweet
You are amazing! Thank you so so so so so much!!!!
Fantastic video!
thank you
Very good sir!
it works I tried it and it worked
Thank you you are so good at this i have a project
Thank you so much I had to make an instrument for science class and I found your video ! So simple and it works great ! It doesn’t sound like yours though . 🤣🤣
Thank u so much I figured out how to do it
Thanks for help me complete school project😊
Beginning music sounds like the Force Unleashed theme :)
:D by accident thanks for watching
I thinks its stranger things
Is there a preferred brand for straws for the panflute? I couldn't get them to seal at the ends at all. I don't have a lighter, so I'm using matches and the pliers.
thankyou so much! it really helped for my sister's homework. and she scored the highest marks!!
I am happy to hear that :D
Hi can i ask what is the sizes of the straws
they are roughly 25cm long and have a diameter of 5-6mm
It's acttully very helfull for my project thx alot
Hi did you use special straws? I can't get a sound out of one (I've blown through it to test that it's sealed). Are they wider or harder than normal straws?
normal straws from a coffee shop. Every straw should work... thin ones are a bit harder to blow, but you will manage :)
@@ArminHirmer I think it is the same problem for me as my plastic straw is very thin (the material)
Wow Awesome!
16 straws to have the chromatic scale
No 12
@@konodioda8173 did it work for you? i have a project to create an instrument that plays 2 octaves. are the straws long enough or did you have to extend the straws or...?
Me in band class:
thanks a lot it worked perfectly
I am happy to hear that, thank you for watching
Got an A in a music project !!!! Thanks !!!💛😂
congratulations :D
Are the straws should be thick? Or is it also okay with thin straws?
Does it work in different kinds of straws? Its for my project
Super😉👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏
Thank you very much💖💝🌈
Now I must do this
I need this only so i can play "Informer" on it like the dude from the Doritos ad.
It helps me in my project
thank you
Ohhh Malta,, Grandayy must've learned from him!!!!
Incredible, making music from plastic. I am going to make one for my grandson. thanks
thank you
thanks!!!! i have a project due in three days and i don't have anything easy to make!
Ditto hope it went well lol
hi can someone tell me how may cm the straws are? im not really good with measuring the sound. Thank you!
I saw those broken arrow pens you had... you should do a tutorial on making them
BOUT TO USE THIS FOR MY PHYSICS PROJECT. ugh this is great plus its cheap if you don't have that kind of money to spend.
have fun and thanks for watching
how- do- you blow- it- and it makes a decent sound- i'm pretty sure my straws are sealed at the bottom already when i blow on it i can only hit the higher notes then when i try the lower notes it just doesn't make a proper sound :P
very confused as i cannot get a sound out of mine and it is sealed properly. any tips?
Awesome.
thank you
Cool idear
thank you very much
nice
Could you please post a video where you make one using aluminum camo arrow
shafts ? Possibly 2512's ? If it work do you think it could be used to call deer?
can you seal the bottoms in a way that keeps them round? I don't really want to flatten them
then you need to plug something in, like eraser from pencils or so. it needs to air tight at the end. of course you can super glue some plastic sheet underneath and cut it round
What are the lengths of the straws
Depends...
Aahhh!!! thanks alot. it's really very useful and easy as a project fr the student like me...
it helped me to earn gud grades...
thank u 😊
Welcome. I am always happy when I can help hahaha. Thanks for watching!
thanks very much, although, it took me time to get the blow to make sound but pulled it off, thanks very much! :D
welcome. Thank you for watching
Nice
Thank you :)
welcome :)
very good
thank you
how to play it? mine is not playing well
Danke sehr!!!
bitte gerne :D
Is it necessary to close one the end of the straw? When I am trying to do so, the sound is very feeble
the principle of a pan flute is to have one side closed. how can you create a sound while you let i
I like it.
But can you make one using bottles?
they will take up more space, but simply fill them differently and it will work
how can it sound like that when i tried it with starbuck straws it didnt work plz help me
it works with every straw, you only need to make sure that the bottom is really sales and closed. then blow like I do. it will work :)
hi im a very late but would it work if I were to tape the end shut?
hi, as long as you manage to get it air tight sure
do you use the left overs
Yes
I know this is old but would it work with fat straws as well?
Sure
thanks bro
:) thanks for watching
Thanks a lot it helped in y assignment
happy to hear that. thanks for watching !
veery cool
thank you
What kind of straws is that sir?
It took some practice, but I got it!
how do i play it i dont know how
What length do you make them
I did not measure them, I just tried and shortened until I liked the sound of the deepest tone. if you want to do it pro, then use a guitar tuner or so
every traveling archer needs an instrument...
hehe exactly
Can we use any straws?
Yes
