Whistles - Episode 219

After making the initial whistle from some off-cuts of pallet wood that had been glued together I decided to experiment with different shapes and sizes.
I learnt a lot based on what you do with the fipple and the size of the chamber to alter the loudness and the tone of the whistle.

Hi Paul, I've made my first couple of whistles recently, great fun

@PaulLockwood 2 месяца назад

Thank you Andy. Yes they can be great fun and a bit frustrating at times to get the whistle to work with the correct sized openings.

Nice video, one of the better whistle videos I’ve seen

@PaulLockwood Год назад

Thank you Craig. You might want to also see one of my latest videos Episode 306 on the Ocarina as I go into more detail on the cutting edge on how these work.

Interesting video thank you .

@PaulLockwood 2 года назад

Thank you, hope it helped. It was interesting to try different things to see how the pitch etc all changed.

Hi Paul good project i have been there about 5 years ago i did watch Woodworking for Mere Mortals make an american train whistle witch is 4 whistles in one with one mouth peice cheers Ian

@PaulLockwood 4 года назад

Thank you Ian. Yes I did see a few videos like that. Just interesting to play with all the different dimensions for the change of sound.

@barrycook4690 4 года назад

Good project Paul you could be on to something there for dogs as well 😉👍👍

@PaulLockwood 4 года назад

Thank you Barry. Yes if you could measure the pitch then a proper dog whistle.

Great video! I turned one today after looking at some pictures , didn't really work too well and wasn't sure why so what do we do in this scenario? We turned to RU-vid. I'm glad I stumbled across your video, I will have a better informed try tomorrow, thanks for sharing 👍

@PaulLockwood 3 года назад

Thank you. It can be a bit of experimentation to get these to work well. Making different sizes etc. all changes the tune and requires harder blowing.

Hi there. Thank you for sharing this. I'm interessted in making something like this to call Tawny Owls. The plastic ones don't sound as good as wood. I'm looking for something around 800 Hrtz. Not sure of bore size and length? Just a matter of experimenting I suppose.

@PaulLockwood 9 месяцев назад

I think there are a few factors that would alter the frequency. You could always go down the flute style option rather than a whistle to see what the starting frequency is based on size. Then by drilling a hole in the tube shortens the length of where the air escapes altering the frequency. That hole can also be made bigger to alter it more. Look at something like the native american flute.

Thank you for your reply. Appreciated. 👍

@RedHanded1969 2 года назад

Need to put little wooden ball inside like modern whistle, to make louder .

@PaulLockwood 2 года назад

Hadn’t thought of that

@awldune 4 года назад

Interesting! I'm not sure about using pallet wood for this, though. Pallets are exposed to a lot of nasty stuff and I don't think I'd like to put it in my mouth.

@PaulLockwood 4 года назад

Thank you Alwdune. God point and that first one was made as a test piece.

@carloscenteno59 7 месяцев назад

Hello Paul, Would you be able to make me custom whistle? Looking for one that is quite and low sounding? I actually just want to hear the articulation of the tongue. Thinking a small whistle maybe a inch or 1.5 inches in length. I have specific size opening. I can share with you.

@PaulLockwood 7 месяцев назад

Hi Carlos, long time since I've made a whistle and they do need a lot of playing around to get the thing to play and then the sizes of the chamber and type of wood all make a difference. Sorry but I wouldn't have the time at the moment to revisit this project.

@charliemopps4926 2 месяца назад

So... not to be that guy but... what was shipped on that pallet prior to you deciding to carve it up and stick it in your mouth? I used to work in shipping and, having 50 gallon drums of random industrial chemicals showing up leaking all over the pallets they were strapped to was a fairly regular thing. It's probably ok to use such scrap wood for coffee tables or whatever... but something you actually put in your mouth... eh... I dunno... just say'n.

@PaulLockwood 2 месяца назад

Very true, which may also be the case for a lot of wood that we use. There is no saying about the source of a lot of wood unless you fell it and process it yourself. Yes for sure pallet wood would have a greater risk and more than likely contain chemicals to treat it.
