How to Make a DIY Slide Whistle

I decided with Christmas break upon us, it would be cool to do a DIY project that could be fun for the whole family. Making a slide whistle (or any musical instrument for that matter) is a great way to learn how they work. It's also exciting to be able to make some thing with your own hands that actually functions. I hope this video give you some good ideas of projects you can tackle over the Holiday break.
Thanks for watching!!

Man, when I look back, there's a lot of things I could have done differently, but that's part of learning.

Instead of a wooden handle, put a wire loop. Bend the wire so this loop is close to the whistle body. Now put some rubber bands around the body, you can adjust their positions to get indexes for your fingers. Middle finger goes thru the loop, other fingers find the indexes.

Huh, Good ideas, I didn't put nearly that amount of thought into it, lol. I'll call this prototype #1.

Thank you! Yes, this was a lot of fun, and easy to make, so many variation options. Loved mine as a kid.
