hi sir!! I've been following you on KZbin for a while, I really like your videos and especially the flutes you make, I'm interested in the PVC ones, you make a great sound out of them!! How do you make them not sound "blown". Thank you very much.

With rim-blown flutes like this one the size and depth of the embouchure affect the tone a lot; chiffy vs clear tone. The smaller are easier to keep clear sounding. Also the blowing technique is very important factor in controlling the sound.

Hola señor!! Primero gracias por contestar. Veo que el grosor del tubo de PVC que utilizas es de 1.5mm, yo utilizo uno de 2 mm de pared, crees que eso es un factor para que no tenga un sonido limpio? Gracias!!

@@alejandrosureda1210 The flute in this video is made out of aluminium. And yes this pipe's wall is 1.5mm. Thinner wall does give cleaner sound and also increase volume. Lighter materials like pvc usually give breathier sound. I tested two of my shakuhachis: Pvc 1.9 mm wall, alumium 2mm wall. In breathiness there is no huge difference while the tone is different.

2:40 It would perhaps have been good if you had indicated here how deep (and wide) this marking should be and how deep it should be cut, as this can make a considerable difference. The width and height of the window (every mm) can also make a considerable difference. Nevertheless, thank you for the detailed instructions. It has helped me with a lot of things I wasn't sure about.

@osflutes5141
@osflutes5141 Ай бұрын
Sorry to say that currently I don't know any websites for that. I haven't used them for at least 8 years. At this point of flute making I only use my previously made flutes/whistles as referense. However I can say that with low whistles some fingerhole positions are challenging to have within a good reach no matter what. Compromises with the hole size vs positions are inevidable.

I loved your video, thank you! Are you able now to make an Alto low F whistle that stays in tune and doesnt go flat in the upper octave. And if so...do you sell your whistles. I have been trying to find a low F whistle. I don't know why, it is a great key andwould be great to have. I live in Ireland and play whistle in the music ministry at church. Our worship sounds very Irish indeed. We run into all kinds of songs in different keys and I like to have all the whistle I need. My hubby is on violin. But I have found that the only whistle maker I have found so far is a outrageously expensive, because they are one of high end whistle makers. If you solved the high octave going flat issue, do sell your whistles? If so how much would you ask for a Alto F ? Accept for high Eb, F and G, all my whistles are tuneable aluminium whistles and one lovely alto A brass, aswell as low A aluminium, and low G, are made by Tony Dixon. I cannot find any Alto F by him. I don't have any plastic whistles at all and your F sounded gorgeous! How much would it cost to have one of your Ato F whistles?? And where are you? Are you located. Are you in Europe? God bless you! So sorry for the long message!😊✝️🕊☘

@@osflutes5141 Thank you so much! It won't be right away but, I will in a month or so. Are you sure you could keep the tuning in balance? The tuning and clarity are very important. And the way you make them, there's no way you can tune them. I don't own any PVC, as I said, I've only tuneable aluminium and a beautiful sounding brass low A. Have you ever made brass whistles?

@@ChildOfKingJesus57 I've never made brass whistles. I don't have brass pipes available currently. The tuning shouldn't be a proplem. Biggest challenges are always between having a lovely tone and loudness. If it's louder the tone in my opinion is not quite as good as it is with softer volume whistles. However this is mainly a challenge with low whistles. Alto like F doesn't suffer from that so much. Without a good lathe it's hard to make a good tuning slide. With non-tunable whistle the question is do you want it to play in tune with maximum blow? Some whistles can be blown over about 5-10 cents. 15 cent note is the absolute limit for discordance. I'll take a look at what I can do with the tuning slide.

I make low D Irish whistles out of one inch copper plumbing pipe. They're a little on the heavy side, but still easy to handle. Obviously, construction of the fipple is significantly more complex, but I've learned to make fipples that produce good clean sound, make a whistle that's easy to play, and have a nice clean look. It took a LOT of experimentation before I came up with a method that resulted in a proper fipple, but it was worth it. I know a one inch bore sounds huge, but the whistles I've built have a beautiful, rich sound. I started making them long before the days of KZbin, and so pretty much had to learn by doing. Anyway, this was an interesting video -- thanks for making and posting it.

Hats off for showing your whole process. Personally, I prefer to have the fipple block movable, since it allows some degree of volume and tone control, which is especially nice for a practice whistle. Also I know the alternate fingering would drive me crazy… To avoid this, I tend to shape the uppermost finger hole as small as I can afford to. Possibly this is a dubious decision on my part, as my understanding is hole position is important in terms of hitting the non vibrating part of the standing wave in the second octave… but, it seems fine to my ears😅 But, anyway, your whistle sounds great and seems very robust!
@PouncingAnt
@PouncingAnt 11 ай бұрын
Actually, looking at my Dixon flute and generation whistle, the top holes are nowhere near where the standing wave node would be, I’m probably thinking of a different instrument😂😂, the whole sizes are also very different proportions in each case.😅 but I still seem to have more success with smaller topmost tone holes
@osflutes5141
@osflutes5141 10 ай бұрын
Pros and cons of my fipple/finger hole design is that: yes it sounds pretty fine throughout the range and the playabiluty is good but I've sacrificed a lot of back pressure. It sounds very balanced but the higher octave is a bit flat unless I blow harder than I'd like to. However, I've recently corrected these defects.

My Pan "Whistle" has 16 notes starting with a low C. I'll add , at least, three more notes to it. It's quite large. I use coconut oil on it to aid in movement over a twenty inch width. This really allows me to play much faster. It was very time consuming to make, but very much fun to play. I love playing "El Condor Pasa" on it. Michael
