Seeing this video reminded me of my grandmother who use to make smaller whistles for us in the 70s with Willow here in the States . Thank you for keeping a old tradition alive .

Het klinkt als een mooie project om met de kinderen samen te maken! Bedankt!

@backyardforge5568 3 года назад

Thank you, I have been making these for a few years now, but some worked and some not, it seemed magic, but I can make one in like just 3 to 4 minutes, cause I have failed so many. Your explanation about how the soundhole and the airflow makes so much sense, I will try it first thing in the morning. Maybe this years season is saved😁

@netyr4554 6 лет назад

Well yours certainly sounds better than mine did, I am happy that you have made a video on it, with your guidance I am getting a better understanding of how to improve my next one.Hitting the bark all over really helps to get it off, this morning I tried it on a 2cm diameter piece and slid bark off intact. I am going to let it dry out (with some paper stuffed in the ends so it stays round) to see if I can make a more long lasting flute.

@pizzamozzarella5781 5 месяцев назад

I love how it sounds. Also it seems like I can do one myself. I'll definitely try this spring! I can't play flute or any instrument at all but it's never late to learn

@arvedbohn6133 5 лет назад

That moment when he pulls off the bark - blew my mind! Thanks for this video, gotta try it myself - I love the sound of overtone flutes! Got a question though: Is there a way to change the pitch of the flute, for example if it's in C but I want it to play a D as the lowest note? Just cut it off until my tuner shows a D?

@truskoysusaventuras 4 года назад

I would guess that's how you do it, with baby steps as he said

@forestweston5055 2 года назад

populus species work well, too (aspens, cottonwood, balsam poplar).

@ChosenTripster01 2 года назад

would probably work with any supple wood that has a "smooth" bark like the willow if the bark is too hard or brittle it would just crack and break when you were beating it loose from the branch

@kellanpartycats Год назад

does it have to be willow or does any wood work

@arturkubac 3 года назад

my grand father show me the same (southern Poland), but the flute was cut perpendiculary and one blows not from a side but directly, like in commercial flute bougth in shop.

@SkibidiEugensson Месяц назад

In Slovakia such flutes are called "koncovka", for obvious reasons.

@mwellmwell 4 года назад

I would love to learn how to make one from bamboo

@1fujara 4 года назад

just go for it!

@pingui8433 3 года назад

can i make this out of a bamboo

@kaicartwright9983 3 года назад

So cool! Even after hitting it quite hard though I find it very hard to remove the bark, do you have any advice?:)

@backyardforge5568 3 года назад

You can also loosen the bark a bit by bendin the stick over your knee, that will help

@peterbonucci9661 Год назад

Hold it between your hands the narrow way. Quickly slide your hands back and forth to spin the stick like a drill. Use pressure. The idea is to spread any place where the bark and wood have separated around under the bark. That's how my Dad taught me. I hope this helps.

@BellXllebMusic Год назад

Is there no way to preserve the flute? I guess it's best to make from PVC if not

@LegacyOfHill 4 года назад

Hi Winne, new subscriber here. I was wondering if you could ever make a video on how you hollow out a wood/branch. Or do you split the wood in two and glue it afterwards? A few words would be helpful as well.

Hi. I tried this. But the tune is very high and only present when I put my finger on the tube. What's the error?

@linuscarlson1054 Год назад

But how do you play so many different notes? I see the finger tapping but I'm just managing to make two different notes

@NicholasKonradsen 3 года назад

is it possible to make one like this without it being made from willow? is it possible to construct the same fipple type mechanism from wood? i've wanted to make flutes for a long time. i make european bagpipes with a single reed but want to try a flute

@1fujara 3 года назад

sure I make these in solid wood as well :))

Do you know if Weeping Willow works the same for this as White Willow? There are a few weeping willows near me, but I live in North America.

@taranmehta6356 5 лет назад

Juan Iribarren there is a bamboo video buy a guy on RU-vid. He does it with a Swiss Army knife

@PapiBauby 5 лет назад

@@taranmehta6356 Amazing i am currently watching many videos and reading books, bamboos tend to splinter alot, and are very resistant, its nice to know that it's possible to use this embouchure, an important factor would be the length and width of the flute, they will determine the frequency and possible sounds. thank you

The sound is gone after 1 or 2 days when the bark shrinks

@Dan-qu8qs 4 года назад

You made nice sounds, but how?

@thatoneperson3762 4 года назад

@@Dan-qu8qs you might havr found the answer by now, but to make different tones, you vary the strength of your blow. there might be a bietter way to explain it, but just trying things out might work best, if all else fails

@bohalad3857 3 месяца назад

@1fujara you just put it in water, thsts where the saying, wet your whistle comes from. It swells it back up to use again

I’m curious what species of willow one can use.

@1fujara 3 года назад

all species with smooth branches and not to many side branches or knots

@hludovicus4478 4 года назад

You said that when the bark dried the flute stop working, but what if I put oil on it ?

@1fujara 4 года назад

the flute stops working because the bark will shrink. oil won't stop it from doing that. you could keep it moist if you want to play it longer

@hludovicus4478 4 года назад

in Poland it is called "fujarka Postna" it is an ancient folk instrument of Polish. Highlander music in Poland is based on the scale of this instrument, it is a pity that you did not put the Polish name.

Can you tell me exactly what species of willow you use to do this with?? (A latin name would be helpful.)

@peterbonucci9661 Год назад

There isn't a particular type. I've done it with birch too. You just need smooth bark that can come off of the branch. Do it when the sap is running.

@malahamavet 5 лет назад

Romanian shepards do something similar

@malahamavet 4 года назад

@@4monkees244 shall, the most common is called fluier. It's a whistle, even the name means whistle. It has 6 holes like the Irish ones but they are Always made out of wood and has local patterns for decoration. This one in the video with just one hole is called tilinca and is basicly the same thing as the one in the video. 😁
