How To Make a DIY PVC Overtone Flute /Homemade PVC Overtone Flute

[@thomasswoodward]

Winne, thank you for all your content. You've been a lasting source of inspiration, both your making and playing. One day when I'm rich I'll have one of your flutes. Until then I'll make my own with your help and inspiration.

[@nikoladze]

Oh this is so much more than a great tutorial!!! ❤ thank you Winne!

[@calindosa1145]

Astounding! Full of good sense and good humour. I'll go for it!

[@mr.tomraypaz6085]

The ketchup bit is hilarious.

[@piccolazua]

Thank you, they sound great those flutes.

[@cesarvidelac]

I have to thank you for this techniques. The way to cut the labium helped me to repair a Moeck soprano recorder that I bought very cheap because the child that had it, inserted the cleaning rod in the air outlet and made a horrible notch in the labium. It was a gamble, but I used a chisel to cut the burr from the inside and an exacto knife to reshape the labium, and it worked! I checked the tunning and amazingly is still correct :) Many many thanks for this tutorials!

[@1fujara]

hah! Glad this was of some value to you! cheers

[@bobdaly2696]

I never thought i would see you put out a diy pvc flute video. Elation that you did is a mild description. I make pvc flutes as a hobby. Taking the info you posted in the video and implementing it in my hobby has put me in touch with the ability to create flutes that give me great joy. I appreciate you!

Super helpful and clear! Planning to make some as live props/instruments for a theatre show for wind effects and music cues.

[@joshyboy111millson]

Wildly educational ! Thanks!

[@dieDilettanten]

Thank you, finally I understood overtone flutes! So after my ukulele it seems to be flute building time now :D I also really like your video style, it gives inspiration for my own construction videos :)

[@groundcrew9066]

i made the first one so easy! and sounds so cool!

[@moongooat]

I lost my overtone flute after a gig with my band some years ago, just found this video, and yes, I will make my own. Great video! Thanx!

I make the wind way flat and the width is twice that of these, much louder. I tune pipe organs and the flutes I make are more like pipe organ pipes than most PVC flutes. All 3 parts are PVC, no wood to swell and change the tone. Outdoors any weather no sweat. Look at a normal metal diapason pipe, often on the facade of most organs. Instead it's plastic, a piece is heated and flattened. Flats are heated into both round parts and mouth parts formed by cutting. Solvent based glue holds the languid, foot, and pipe together. Schedule 21 thin-wall sounds better than schedule 40 the thicker size normally used in plumbing. I have gone up to 1-1/4 inch (33mm) dia and to 8 foot length. I found that elbows and ridges inside mess with some harmonics. I heat and bend a smooth 180 into one piece of pipe then couple to the straight piece with the fipple end. Another effect to playing is stopping the end hole with a percussive hit (flute resting on floor) giving a open tone and kept closed tone. With close micing the bass and drum magic happens as well as the overtones.

[@Usacho]

Thank you so much for this video, you are golden! You've explained everything so clearly that I'm going to attempt to make a flute like that for sure, even though I have no experience whatsoever. Looking forward to the PVC fujara tutorial :)

[@1fujara]

have fun!

[@djuzi4514]

Awesome, really enjoying your videos.

[@mattnobrega6621]

[@johnhutchinson5398]

The best player I’ve ever heard. I’ve watched a concert you had done and I was blew away. I made one out of large bamboo and I took it up to Cherokee North Carolina and played it up at clingsman dome. And people started posting about aliens and stuff 😂. Thanks I still haven’t gotten the continuance playing like you do. Thanks

[@nihilidron]

Haha, you rock. I just made pvc shakuhachi. Now Im going to try these.

[@killmanjarto]

[@Cj12sings]

AWESOME...!!!!!!!

[@pekkal6194]

Hey! Made one out of the carbon fiber fishing rod! Took 10 minutes, I even had old wooden dowel that fit exactly! That was the easy part... I have no idea how to play, but it sounds just right! It turned out as E# something.. have to cut it a little. Thank´s for the great video!

[@1fujara]

have fun! you will figuere it out :)

[@blackadder1348]

Great tutorial! Actually, I’m doing this for quite a while ( PVC whistles ) ; also tried to make other instruments ( Moldavian/Romanian Kaval ) , Balkan Frula etc etc . I’m a real amateur, cannot play well - just having fun :-) another thing catch my eye- the ease you are making sound on open tube - I’ve made few Bulgarian and Macedonian/Serbian/Kosovo/Balkan kavals - unfortunately, making sound ( at least clear tone ) - mission impossible:-) I’ve made hybrid- Macedonian Kaval with fipple , not bad - but , for sure not sound like original... anyhow- love your videos and your craft of making instruments and the way you play ! Hat down- great 👍

[@TheRedhawke]

That's just cool brother.

[@joerxworx7299]

awesome flutes and playing !

[@1fujara]

thanks!

[@fonwoolridge]

Most excellent! Thanks... I dabble with many different types of building...yesterday, i tried my first ever whistle, and failed! Lol, can't win em all! That's what brought me here... But am now inspired to give it another go! Thanks!

[@stonail665]

Very good, I like overtones and the way you play it.

[@1fujara]

hah thanks

[@zebanon5]

At 4:35 when he demonstrates playing a pipe without any modification, my jaw dropped and I lost my shit. I took the fipple off of my low whistle and closed all the holes to play some overtone goodness. Woke up my girlfriend and she came out to tell me off.

[@musichong]

Very good video!

[@sanjaykr.kaushik8806]

You are amazing just like your flutes...

[@1fujara]

I´ve always loved your channel for your music but you´re a real fun guy as well :D really enjoyed this video

[@1fujara]

:)

[@CristianoCemin]

Thanks from Brasil. Very good my friend

[@1fujara]

my pleasure :-)

[@sigurdfyllingkarstad2694]

When working with PVC you could actually take another PVC pipe at the end so you could adjust the tonality by extending or shortening the tube it self. Even make it so that the very bottom note is a C and have and the top note a B or C. Now that's an instrument I would love to buy! Cheers from Norway!

[@1fujara]

cheers!

[@dxnxz53]

nice one

[@finelinerin]

[@georgeantoneac4724]

Great video! These flutes are similar to tilinca, a romanian instrument.

[@nelli3300]

Wow!!!!

[@MauroMirandaJr]

veri gud.

[@chicoviola4338]

Magnífico

[@1fujara]

:)

[@teoflyfishing2004]

I made a kaval from pvc. I learn the basics on it. I wait for the summer to get to my workshop to make a real elder wood kaval.

[@Galgalchik]

Teo Fly fishing Interesting, how to make correct fipple from pvc to play special kaval sound(where is the bottom lip is on)?

[@teoflyfishing2004]

Oleg Axelband You make it just as any other overtone flute fipple just, closer to the end of the flute. You need to play around with it a little bit

[@daleciodawavlis344]

Legal amigo

[@joelcorriveau]

Did you ever shoot the PVC Fujara tutorial you hinted at in the end of this video? Haha. I'm certain you're very busy making beautiful instruments. Love watching your channel.

[@1fujara]

hah yes no not yet, too much work :))

[@ninaassimakopoulos3150]

Thank you for your wonderful videos! Do you make/sell overtone flutes?

Amazing tutorial, did you consider make some workshop somewhere in near future?

[@1fujara]

Thanks, always open for workshop suggestions, no open free workshop planned at the moment

[@thekito4623]

0:08 got me screaming like wooohhha waaaat thats so cool! I want one! (Accepted side quest: obtain junk plastic pipe)

[@seboOoOOstien]

interessant et assez simple , perso je cherche une fujara ca a l'air d'etre le meme principe

[@ptmikewilliams4175]

Great Video, thank you so much:) Just one thing though, there is somthing i cant figure out on the first flute.... how are you playing in to it straight on.. ? its blocked with the dowel...? Again thanks

[@darrenjattan4277]

Hi I'm from Trinidad. Yow Mr Winnie the winner,you are the number 1 flute maker. You are an excellent flute player and that's why you are a number 1 star. i admire you as a skill teacher. Praise Almighty father for winne the winner. What I'll kindly like to do is please keep putting more videos on how to make more and more please. I admire it and I'll love to learn how to make it. God bless you sir🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊👊👊🎷🎷🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺👑✨👌

[@1fujara]

hahahah thank you!

[@piquinginterest3451]

I'm guessing you can play just a tube with no cutting or altering. If you think about it you can play a soda bottle. I work in an elderly home and I've learned I can play my broom to make the residents laugh

[@ajhauter5049]

A tube with no adjustment can be played by buzzing like a brass instrument, providing a wide range.

[@danielrodriguezv]

Awesome! Man, this is wonderful not only for messing around, but also for kids, thanks so much for sharing! ...Yeah, you right, better you take extra-care while cutting the PVC, just in case, so you can save some ketchup...

[@1fujara]

hah! thanks!

[@dekoningtan]

Hey! Would this work (roughly the same) with bamboo? I know I'd have to make a few adjustments, but I can get big bamboo here easily so thought it might be fun.

[@yoelclemente2523]

🤔 Interesante

[@maximvovchenko]

Great job!! I’ve made flutes like these! Thanks! But what about pvc-fujara?😉 I think pvc pipes with a thick wall should be used. And the fipple should be done as in a wooden fujara. Am I wrong?

[@MrDaytrack]

Hi, Winne Love your flutes; lesson and your work. I wonder if I could ask you a technical question!? Simply; if I have a flute that plays really well; and I cut the tube off the flute! So; all I know have is the sound part and about two inchs of pipe in front of where the sound is generated and comes out! If I now blow through the very shortened section (and, again, this is where the sound is generated) ... if I blow through this, will I get a sound ... !? The reason that I ask is that; I have built a 34'' Contrabas flute; the long tube is finished, but not connected to the sound part, but, for the life of me, I cannot get any sound out of the sound part! I would have thought you could create sound through the sound part with it disconnected to the tube part ... !? Hope you can help on this one, as I am now completely stuck ... ! Best wishes ... William (Hampshire UK)

[@AndrewChason]

I've watched many of these videos about how to make a flute out of PVC: if I wanted to make something lower in tone (a Bass Flute) would I make the tube longer, or is that in the math of how I make the part I blow into? Maybe Diameter of pipe? You seem like you might know what variables are proportional to the overall tone.
