I finally had some time to do this. Unfortunately camera stopped recording few times during the process so some parts were lost. Materials: pvc and pom-c.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that! My uploading pace is quite slow because I have so much to do. I've already recorded alto f whistle making process, I'm just not sure when I have time to cut/edit it.
@@osflutes5141 looking forward to that! Im a low d nut although straying to wanting to make a low c from 25mm aluminium tube, do you think the same measurements on your pvc low c whistle would work the same? Was worried if the aluminium would mess up the tuning and didnt want to start from square one. Had an obsession recently with the native american style flutes too. Possibly a future endeavor.
@@josephdowell1027 Different materials should work the same way when it comes to tuning. If I want to use difficult material like glass I make first a pvc flute of same size and tuning and then use it as a reference.
I made a low D but the a and b notes in the upper octave are very flat. Do you have advice: should I make larger holes and shift their position to the end, or make smaller ones and shift them upwards?
Sorry I've missed your comment somehow... That's a tough question and rather common challenge for tuning. My understanding is that you can't do much by changing the hole sizes/positions, instead it's about making the windway lower: for example making it 1.2mm instead of 2mm could improve things. Lower windway gives better backpressure and better tuning balance between octaves.
What a very nice sounding whistle / flute , I made one some time ago but it was a dud no good ,I think my fipple was my let down and some understanding on length and hole sizes etc, also I think the pipe I was using may have been to thick , a whole bunch of things let me down to my lack of knowledge , I’ll try again , your flute was awesome .
If only I have time I'll make another video about whistle making. I've been making shakuhachi and other rim-blown flutes now for a quite long time. Now that I've had a lathe available for use I've gotten exited about making also whisltes.
@@osflutes5141 … Thank you so much , if time permitting you I would definitely love to see your video making the whistle , goodness knows we who are interested in whistles etc could do with some help , thank you 🙏
thanks, I make Native American style flutes but I want to become consistent in voicing these other type of fipple so many other flutes use, that doesn't have a removable thing or tend to "wet out" as much. You provide a type that is not just the same as so many others, thanks. I think you could also defend yourself with this one if you get a homicidal critic.
Hello, you sale this flute, please? and where is the price from France please? it's a very good instrument , i like this. i search a low whistle 8 holes, the same with a GHB Bagpipe, ou make this please?
I was looking for tutorial like this and when I finally found it I saw that I can't find this kind of pipe to buy anywhere in my country haha Because of that I have a question: How much would it cost to make one for me? Cheers! ;D
PVC-pipes should be available everywhere so are you absolutely sure there's none there? I haven't been making these for a while but I suppose I could make one for you after vacation trip (for 80€) . I won't be at home for two weeks.
@@osflutes5141 I can still try to look for them somewhere. I couldn't find them anywhere online in shops in my country but I'll try to find a store where they sell them ;D
Pipes I have available are quite unsuitable for F but I consider it. I might be able to use same pipe I use for G. However the making process is exactly the same as with Low D so all you need is different calculations and different size pipe. iotic.com/flutomat/
Yes, I mentioned it in description, some parts were lost because camera stopped recording few times. But for tuning... You first drill the hole to calculated location. Make it small first and then start making it bigger until you reach the right pitch. Oh and... measurements are shown in the very end.
