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 :)
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.
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
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!
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# !!!)
omg thank you i broke my panpipe but now i know how i can fix it. plus the gaps between each pipe sounds like a smart idea and would make it easier to use
Thank you kind sir! I tried with the big milkshake straws and a bit more difficult, but your principle is sound. Much appreciation from me and my kiddo!
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 . 🤣🤣
@@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...?
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
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?
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.
I know its a bit late... But can you like... Umm.. measure the length of your straws and tell us the exact length so that we can get a uniform note. Not everybody has trained ears, you see! It will be very helpful if we had a standard length chart for the project
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?
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
