nevermind, no whistles here

Edit:

Nevermind. No whistles here, just some holes in a tube. Those of you who wrote encouragement, thank you very much.

Those of you who wrote otherwise, sorry to have wasted your time.

I am interested in making a low D whistle. But how do I know how to space the holes and what diameter are they.

Woohoo! Looks and sounds great, congrats!
Soon as you get 'em perfected, you know I'm gonna be asking for one.

Congratz, Ava! It looks great. Great sound too!

I am impressed, Beth! Did you make it with Mack?

It would seem that there will be many new whistle makers to choose from in the very near future... this forum seems to be spawning them left and right.

Congratulations on completing your first whistle, it looks and sounds very nice.

Hi Jessie - nope, made it on my own this week, though the mouthpiece is one of Mack's whitecaps. A LBW head from the Whistle Shop also fits (and was what I planned on using) but this one gave a better sound in the second octave.

Oh, so you made a tube.

avanutria · Post by **avanutria** » Fri Feb 07, 2003 7:07 pm

*chuckle*

Yes. But it certainly improves the sound of the mouthpiece!

You have the right idea, Avanutria. I need to learn to make my own whistles too.

That's the stuff that makes Water Weasels charming!

And you thought all those years in engineering school were for naught.

Congrats Beth, it's very cool.
