By george I think I've got it...

Post by S.B.O'Gill »

After several tries, I finally ended up a nice looking pvc whistle with clean lines and logically spaced, logically sized holes that is [almost] perfectly in tune and sounds REALLY nice!

I'm so happy! Hah hah hah! Next project: a Low D whistle in pvc. Then on to copper! I'm having more fun than a barrel full of monkies!

Tell us something.: Of course I'm not a bot; I've been here for years... Apparently that isn't enough to pass muster though!

To think that I'd always believed "seriously annoyed" would describe a barrel full of small monks . . .

I'm having fun like you. Just thought I would show my creations also. I make the fipple without a beak, so the fipple is played to the back. I'm going to try pvc for a while and have just ordered Acetal/Delrin for the fipples.

I was really helped by someone on the message board telling me about TWCalc (Tin Whistle Calc, from JubileeMusic.com).
