I have nine whistles form Mr. Becker and they are among my favorites. The prices he charges shows he obviously makes them for the love of his craft and not for profit. Very recommended!
Hey there! It seems to be like I found a new great hobby for myself. I love the Irish music and dance from the bottom of my heart! Thanks so much for sharing this video. Have a good day! From Kazakhstan with Love. Bye for now
My Bb just arrived, I live on Dartmoor in England. What a great sound, really mellow, just the tone I have been looking for. Highly recommended, and real value for money. I shall be buying other keys, and recommending them to my whistle group.
I know this is a very old video, but ive only just (in retirement) got into the Penny Whistle, is your dad still making them and have you a link to purchase. Apologies if not.
Thanks! Your Dad's whistles look wonderful! I love that he makes them so affordable!! Amazing.At that price I might be able to get a low D whistle sooner than I thought! :-)
I just got your Bb, C, and E whistles to round out my collection. They sound way better than my other $10 whistles. Kind of wish I had a D now as I would take these anywhere and not worry about temperature or rust. You might get another order soon!
This is fantastic!!! I'm going to try this out. Is there a standard hole-size and placement per hole down the whistle? Thanks so much for this tutor!!! The whistles sound great. I play myself and would like to make my own whistles. Paula
I bought one of these whistles in a high D, it cost $8, it is my go to whistle it sounds as sweet as a nut and is on a par with whistles triple this price, buy with confidence guys, these Becker whistles are fantastic value for money
Very good video! but I'm hard to make the holes. would pass that information for me? distance, diameter of the holes. and total length of the flute. thank you very much!
Hi Francois! I asked my dad, and he said to move the holes toward the mouthpiece a mm or 2 or 3. That will sharpen the lower octave a touch and help the upper octave. All cylindrical whistles have that tendency. Thanks for your comment!
He should try to make a native american flute next. I started making them with my students. They are fun to play too. I have a video of how I started making them if you want to look.
I love it ....now make the 25 mins into 3 videos so i can learn whistle kung fu ...I have bamboo growing local and have been dreaming of making whistles and fifes...Wisdom isn't knowing, its sharing what you know so tradition lives on, so spirit lives on. Teach just one man to make music instruments and a community learns to sing in harmony..
PARABENS MEU AMIGO JOINHA, O SENHOR PODE ME DIZER COMO FASO PRA ENCONTRAR AS MEDIDAS DE CADA FURO DESSE, EX a nota C e todo fechado, D e um aberto e assim vai o outro C 1 oitava, quero somente as distancias dos 6 furos, qual e a matematica pra chegar esses valores, senhor tem alguns cauculos ou pdf!!!!!!!!
Hey rjjajimenez! My dad says there are some details on a guy's website called gg whistles.com. My dad used those as a starting place and had to adjust them for the American diameter of PVC pipe.
Hi Paula, my dad says if you look up low tech whistles and Guido Gonzato, you can find measurements that are close. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Those are very nice, but you might want to consider switching to tin or copper tubing. CPVC and PVC plastics are harmful to the lungs, and can cause cancerous growths or breathing difficulties.
@Ytanythinggoes I don't know what's funnier, the fact that you responded aggressively to an eleven year old comment or the fact that I'm still present enough on this godawful platform eleven years later to see that you have done so
@@ferret8001…dude you make a comment that you cannot back up with proof , don’t make assumptions of cancer etc when you can’t back up with proof , you sound like an attention seeker , you don’t breath in with whistles you blow out ,still waiting on your proof of your claim , definitely not holding my breath because your a fake.
It is so much easier to buy one, I could never angle the whistle, let alone cut every hole in the right place, in the right size, let alone, manage the octave jumps... 'Tutorial'.. 😒

I love the Tin Whistle so much, if I'm having a bad day I always play my whistle and also it always reminds me the love I have for Ireland ❤️...

this video. Have a good day! From Kazakhstan with Love.
Bye for now
Really nice work, but hardly a tutorial. More like a light describtion of the proces. Would love to see more ☀️
My Bb just arrived, I live on Dartmoor in England. What a great sound, really mellow, just the tone I have been looking for. Highly recommended, and real value for money. I shall be buying other keys, and recommending them to my whistle group.
I bought an alto G whistle months ago, and I just ordered three more in different keys! Awesome whistles, especially for the price
I know this is a very old video, but ive only just (in retirement) got into the Penny Whistle, is your dad still making them and have you a link to purchase. Apologies if not.
Thanks! Your Dad's whistles look wonderful! I love that he makes them so affordable!! Amazing.At that price I might be able to get a low D whistle sooner than I thought! :-)
Just ordered a high D from your dad. They sound great! Thanks for sharing

How do I find this dude to get one of his whistle's?
Lol I found it y'all wrote it on there yay thank you so much I'm going to get one from y'all soon 🙂 ... This makes me so excited
This is fantastic!!! I'm going to try this out. Is there a standard hole-size and placement per hole down the whistle? Thanks so much for this tutor!!! The whistles sound great. I play myself and would like to make my own whistles.

Wish you had included what size drill bits were used for the finger holes...

I have emailed your father twice, with no reply. How do I get a hold of him? I really want to order a few whistles!
That’s sounds great.
Can you teach me how to make a C major flute at home? Thank you
Please teach me how to play the C major flute, thank you
2:54 That's a melody I listened to on radio!
What is its name?
Very good video! but I'm hard to make the holes.
would pass that information for me?
distance, diameter of the holes.
and total length of the flute.
thank you very much!
The first tune is The Silver Spear and the second is the Sally Gardens
Nice tutorial , i have made one in C , but my problem is that the second octave notes play flat , any idea of what is wrong?
Hi Francois! I asked my dad, and he said to move the holes toward the mouthpiece a mm or 2 or 3. That will sharpen the lower octave a touch and help the upper octave. All cylindrical whistles have that tendency. Thanks for your comment!
Could you email me the full footage, i'm curious to see if there are any more random tips he says
It's called The Cat's Meow :) This version is by Joanie Madden (on iTunes)
What key is the whistle in he plays at the end of the video? high G?
He should try to make a native american flute next. I started making them with my students. They are fun to play too. I have a video of how I started making them if you want to look.
I'd buy one!
How much for the whole package of whistles? Incl. Low D Whistle.
I want to play Braveheart and Lord of the rings so bad. They sound so soothing
Hi ! My friend, I am front Brasil, I find your vídeo. Excllente, I would like to do a sweet flute, or a recorder, what must I do?
I've ordered mine and its winging its way to South Wales UK as I type
rely good it helped a little but i need to know where the holes go??!?!?!
I love it ....now make the 25 mins into 3 videos so i can learn whistle kung fu ...I have bamboo growing local and have been dreaming of making whistles and fifes...Wisdom isn't knowing, its sharing what you know so tradition lives on, so spirit lives on.

Time to do a remake of this video at a higher resolution. That potato camera is outdated. 2011 was a few years ago. Good information otherwise.
Thanks!
How can I buy one in C? I bought one previously but lost your details.
+John Fisher Hi John, you can order through his website: www.beckerwhistles.com. Thanks!
Is the tune at the end the cork Hornpipe?
Yep...called "Harvest Home".
Yes it is Harvest Home and plays well in a medley with the Boys of Bluehill
Hi! I haven't heard anything from him. I just sent him an email again. Could you get him to reply? I would really like to get a few whistles.

Dude , you forgot to give THE MEASUREMENT'S!
Amazing And Beatiful Work ! :3
Thanx sir please dis measurement on the screen
I really want to buy a whistle from you as my first one!!
So, did you get the whistle?

3:05-3:10
"Im drawing a center line so we can measure where the sound holes go"
*just draws a bunch of random lines*
Thank you so much
Thank you!
Good job dad, no doubt :)
Very usefull 👍👍👍
its easier than i thought it would be
Hi Sebastianjapan, I talked to my dad and he says he will double check his email. Sorry for the trouble!
Go Mules!
PVC pipes are toxic,your flutes sound so enchanting,but they are a health hazzard.
People all over the world drink water through pvc everyday....
it weird i live in a celtic community but our music is deep and more powerful (im from and live in Wales)
Those are very nice, but you might want to consider switching to tin or copper tubing. CPVC and PVC plastics are harmful to the lungs, and can cause cancerous growths or breathing difficulties.
Where is your proof of that !

I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.
It is so much easier to buy one, I could never angle the whistle, let alone cut every hole in the right place, in the right size, let alone, manage the octave jumps...
'Tutorial'.. 😒
so i made it too . just by using woodprix woodworking plans:)
Long-sleeves + scroll saw = bad idea
Like il
I'm sure you can find awesome woodworking plans on woodprix website
what key is the whistle in that he is making? high G?
