Pentatonic PVC Flute 

Nice! It’s similar to a Japanese Shakuhachi. The Shakuhachi uses a 30 degree blowing edge that requires making an embouchure with the lips, and blocking the bulk of the opening with the bottom lip/upper chin area. They’re traditionally made of a particular type of bamboo, but 3/4” schedule 40 pvc works good for a low cost alternative, and they’re simple to make. Thin walled schedule 20 pvc can be used too, but half a coupler needs to be glued on before cutting the blowing edge, so it will make the thin walled thicker so to be able to have a good blowing edge.

Thanks for sharing this. It's quite amazing what you can create from a simple piece of PVC tube! ❤️🙏

Enjoyed the video. Had my heart in my mouth much of the time due to the lack of a stable bench under the drilling and sawing...... nice result though 👍

OK, Tip One: when working with saws and power-tools like drills, DEFINITELY use a bench and not your knee to balance anything on. Use vice-clamps where- and whenever possible to secure the pipe you're carving. Tip Two: definitely wait for PVC glue to completely dry before putting your mouth and nose anywhere near it. Tip Three: files and sanding paper are your friends. So are Dremel tools.

This dude is pretty good at making and tuning these instruments out of PVC. I'm waiting for the day he makes a video where he gashes his leg with his saw or drill.

I tried to do it as you did, now i have all these tiny holes in my kneecap and gashes across my thumb. Am I doing something wrong??

I would love to buy one of these already made. Do you still sell these? And how much?

nice pentatonic flute is perfect for Balinese gamelan rindik Thx

Hi. Very cool flutes you make. I tried the chromatic one, but it didnt work out so I'm starting with this one. Are the measurements for the holes from the bottom? I just drew them and somerhi g seems off. Your flute seems to have two sets of four holes each separated by roughly an inch but with about 2 inches between he sets. The numbers on the table in the video create 3 holes approx an inch apart, then the 2 inch gap followed by 5 holes that are approx an inch apart. Am I doing something wrong? Let me know--I just got it to a perfect G and I'm itching to start on the holes!

did he get lost in a forest and find a power drill ??????!!!!!

You sound a bit like Tom Hanks - thanks for the presentation - try sell them on line ?

The kid looks like he's sneaking his daddy' tools and doesn't know how to use them. Lord bless him!

Lordy!Lordy! this guy is a health & safety nightmare. I'm glad he still functions normally!

Should you be using power tools?

At around 8:20 (click to view video @ 8:20) I thought he was going to hacksaw thru that electric cord device that was in the line of fire... damn!
