Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing your project!!! I also like your vertical mill! My family has owned a machine shop since 1947 and we have three or four large Bridgeport vertical mills and there’s so much you can use them for! When I was young I started as a Machinist and around 19 I decided to use the advanced education I already had on car repair and I’ve been a Master Automotive Technician for over twenty five years until I unfortunately became disabled. But I was researching people making whistles and small wind whistle instruments from various materials! Great video and job very well done!!!! Thanks again for such a great video!
I was actually thinking the same thing. I'm going to sand off all the logos and then I was wondering what would be the best way to decorate it. Paint? Stain? Dye? I don't have much experience with PVC. Paint seemed to work when I did the PVC didgeridoo.
fantastic! I actually saw the jam where you used it (beautiful, btw) before I saw this video. I'm really into this idea. I may keep my eyes open for something 'pre-made' rather than attempt this myself.
It sounds like you might have built a few of these. I appreciate the experience (this was my first time as the title suggests). I'm assuming that's interior diameter you're referencing? So with a 3/4" pipe, I'd want it to be about 22.5" long. Maybe I'll try that next.
True. Except for the fact that you'd have to keep your fingers over all the holes so it would be hard to get the end opening. I guess you could put tape over all the holes and then use it like an overtone flute. That actually might be a fun experiment. Thanks for the idea.
Nice one thank you- works great- I just used a 1" standard coupling at the top, worked fine, friendlier to the lips
I hope the video was helpful. I always post these vids hoping they help or inspire someone else. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I really appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching the video. I hope it was helpful and good luck with your upcoming projects.
Happy Holidays to you and the family. Great quick project. I love homemade instruments, and this is perfect for kids.
Happy holidays! Good guess on the 5K prediction BTW. You'll be hearing from me soon. Thanks for checking out the vid.
Bravo Kale. Very cool. Now you just need to decorate it in your own way to really jazz it up. Happy Holidays.

@@musicalmiscellany yea Kale, I was thinking stain then paint adjournment.

I really like it. So simple. Since you're in Europe, you might check these out... harevis.com/product-category/flutes/overtone-flutes/
very cool
Thanks for checking it out.
Awesome channel
Thank you! I'm amazed by how much I love this little flute. I thought it was going to be gimmicky but it sounds great.
The ratio (diameter/lenght) should be 1:30 to get more notes easily

Just saw your reply (8 months later!) 😅 So yeah, basically the higher the ratio, the easier it will be to reach those higher harmonics.
Any recorder can be payed as an over-tone flute.
