Hi folks.My name is James and I live in Nashville.I've only been playing the whistle for about a year so I'm still a beginner,but I love it.I have some electrical metal tubing,about eight feet long,and five eighths of an inch in diameter.I was wondering if it would be good material to make pennywhistles out of? And if so,where could I find some instructions on how to make one? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

5/8ths(.625)diameter tubing can be used for whistles in the keys of F(394.23hz),G(391.99hz)and A(440hz)with good tone as well as minor keys in this range.This covers bore ratios of 1/25 to 1/35
