Hi all, Im Cuban... Apologizes for my not pretty good English.
I am new in the Tin whistle worl. I am interested in making whistles by myself (there is imposibble to get one here in Cuba). I need to know the numeric relation between bore diameter, length of the tube and fingers positions.... Anybody can help me? Thanks in advanced...

Welcome to the board.

Typically the ratio of bore length to bore width (inner diameter) is 25:1 to 30:1. For hole positions and sizes go to Flute-o-Mat at http://www.cwo.com/~ph_kosel/flutomat.html .

Also, take a look at the Musical Instrument Makers Forum at http://www.mimf.com/ .

Do you mean that if somebody sent you a whistle by mail, you wouldn't get it?

I have a couple of spare whistles lurking in a drawer that need a 'holiday'.

Email me with your address if you want them.

Easily_Deluded_Fool, you might have a better chance sending things over to Cuba than someone from the US of A.

There's still an US embargo on Cuba (for detaining cigars of mass destruction).

Now, I don't know which taxes Yomichael would have to pay on your parcel--this is a sore point.

Hi and welcome,

I started to make copper whistles using information from this site and the best instructions I have come across are at:

I hope you enjoy yourself in the making and playing of your own whistles.

Well, i think to learn to play tin whistle first, and some thinks in traditional irish music, i think it is the best school (i like Irissh music too) After that i want to make Christian music with the tin whistle. I ´ve try to make some Cuban famous melodies, and they sounds good on tin whistle!
see you,
yoe

Yoemichel, hopefully someone will succeed in sending you a whistle and also you will succeed in making them. I'd send you a few, but unfortunately i'm a foreigner living in the USA, which makes it a bad idea for me to be sending shiny metal tubes to Cuba.

Hang in there, things will change one day.

Meanwhile, i just wanted to say that Maraca rocks!

According to the UK Royal Mail website, there should be no problem sending things to Cuba from the UK.

So....
Some whistles are on their way to a holiday in Cuba.
Sweetone, Meg, Gen, Doolin, Acorn in D and a Bb Gen.

If that doesn't start a WHOA conversation I don't know what will.

I'm going to send one of my books to him. There's no taxes on it if I'm giving it to him.
