    Nice! It’s similar to a Japanese Shakuhachi. The Shakuhachi uses a 30 degree blowing edge that requires making an embouchure with the lips, and blocking the bulk of the opening with the bottom lip/upper chin area. They’re traditionally made of a particular type of bamboo, but 3/4” schedule 40 pvc works good for a low cost alternative, and they’re simple to make. Thin walled schedule 20 pvc can be used too, but half a coupler needs to be glued on before cutting the blowing edge, so it will make the thin walled thicker so to be able to have a good blowing edge.

    Thanks for sharing this. It's quite amazing what you can create from a simple piece of PVC tube! ❤️🙏

    This dude is pretty good at making and tuning these instruments out of PVC. I'm waiting for the day he makes a video where he gashes his leg with his saw or drill.

      I know, I watched to the end just from the suspense of wondering when it'd get gory!

    OK, Tip One: when working with saws and power-tools like drills, DEFINITELY use a bench and not your knee to balance anything on. Use vice-clamps where- and whenever possible to secure the pipe you're carving.
    Tip Two: definitely wait for PVC glue to completely dry before putting your mouth and nose anywhere near it.
    Tip Three: files and sanding paper are your friends. So are Dremel tools.

    Enjoyed the video. Had my heart in my mouth much of the time due to the lack of a stable bench under the drilling and sawing...... nice result though 👍

    Hi. Very cool flutes you make. I tried the chromatic one, but it didnt work out so I'm starting with this one. Are the measurements for the holes from the bottom? I just drew them and somerhi g seems off. Your flute seems to have two sets of four holes each separated by roughly an inch but with about 2 inches between he sets. The numbers on the table in the video create 3 holes approx an inch apart, then the 2 inch gap followed by 5 holes that are approx an inch apart. Am I doing something wrong? Let me know--I just got it to a perfect G and I'm itching to start on the holes!

      E5 should be 7 and 13/16 instead of 8 and 13/16. Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know.

    How long does the pvc pipe have to be?

    • @johnbtheperson
      @johnbtheperson  7 років тому

      About 17 inches, keep in mind there will be a little extra to cut off to make the mouthpiece angled just right and the air channel short. Some stores sell pipes in 2-foot lengths, those are usually only a few bucks for a pipe like this. But you shouldn't try to get the length exactly the same as mine, what you should do is make a fipple in a longer piece of pipe and cut it down to the right length to tune it to a perfect G, because every fipple's intonation is different.

      johnbtheperson thank you! I'm making one of these for physics and I'd like it to be as precise as possible for a good grade and I play a regular flute as well so this should be a breeze

    • @miyamorales5198
      @miyamorales5198 7 років тому

      can I ask why on the top four holes the upper two are farther than the lower two? I just marked where the holes should be just about

    • @miyamorales5198
      @miyamorales5198 7 років тому

      and it doesn't look right

    • @johnbtheperson
      @johnbtheperson  7 років тому

      What do you mean by the upper two? If you have annotations disabled, you may not have noticed, but I made a mistake in measuring the holes and I corrected it in the description if that is what is causing the problem.
