- 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

Loved your version of Danny boy!!
thank you for sharing . i didnt see the creation of the airway that allows the air to travel through the fipple
finaly someone who uses the inernational metric system (Meters, cm,.. )
Metric system sucks
@@williambailey9888 U suck
It shouldn't be an issue for anyone to convert from one to the other, or even learn both systems.
@@williambailey9888 while i am American and normally use the imperial system. I normally use the metric system for flutes and any instruments that are small, the metric system is a lot more accurate and easier to use in tasks such as these.
awesome!!! thx for sharing
Thank you for your kind comment. I have other tunes videos, too - please check them out.
Thanks for this video
Thank you for your comment! I hope you enjoyed my video - I have other tunes videos, too. Please check them out.
Awesome! :)
Diolch yn fawr/Thank you for your comment! Hiraeth....
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed my video. Please check out my other videos, too!
Thank you for video. For deep bass I need longer pipe or biger diameter? Process of tuning is to comfortable size of holes ?
CHIQUE PARABENS 10!!!!!!!!!!
Nice tutorial
can it play flats with the proper fingerings..?
Nice
Thx 4 sharing!!
Thank you for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed my video. If you have any questions about the whistle making process, feel free to ask :-)

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.
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 ?
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.
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).
the type of splicing i use :

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.
Agradeço a aula.
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
My grandfather taught me how to make this whistle when I was a young boy. He taught me to make it out of wood.
Thanks for sharing, I assume that you can also make a "Low D" using the same process with different but proportional measurements?
Yes! Normally, by doubling all the lengths you should get a whistle that's an octave lower
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!
Hi, what about app ? Thank you
Cool
Thank you for commenting on my video! Please watch my other tunes videos, too :-)

Good job, thanks so much for this video, i think i missed (I can't find) the meadures of the wooden block for the mouth piece... It's 14mm diameter but the lenght? Thank you so much, best regards
Why people dislike video I don't understand Nice one -I must try it at home sir humvi flute banate hai please support
android apps - test note ?
Low D whistles would be easier to play if there was a 30 degree angle in the Head Piece? Longer Recorders have this for ease of playing.
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.
Hello
i think you meant "a little too low" when tuning the pipe...
Thank you for pointing that out. I have inserted corrections in subtitles. I hope you enjoyed my videos!
Did I miss something in the video, I didn't spot how the location of the holes was calculated? Is there a template for a high d whistle available? Thanks.
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?
want DIY, sir, have Bb or Eb key dimenions? thx!

@@ranela2010 pls send to me. cos want to play "Titanic" intro. thx!
Hi, why C# is considered as higher than D?
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 :-)
Mistranslation? it should say too low (pitch) or too long (the tube), not too high
Biutiful... Sorry you did not explain the distance between holes
I would probably sand the mouthpiece and fipple before filing down the pipe length.

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

That sounds way too hard for me. I don't have those kinds of materials to make a whistle.
Wrong! The flute was running too LOW before you trimmes it

Vice? Really?
How about "vise"...
It's Vice in English, Vise in American, I suppose it is for the person writing it to decide, and the person reading it to understand.
Um..."tin" whistle"? This is how to make a _plastic_ whsitle.
