Older than you think they are called Wablers and were made all over Europe and parts of Russia. Can still find videos on making them, but most are not in English and hard to find anymore. Well done and nice to see this video.
It took me 4 tryes to make these types of water whistles just from seeing one in Peru. Now I can really offer this option to my students. My problem was with the blow tube and sound hole; needed they little pice of rice to push the air up and out under the sound hole. And using the wire is to cut the angle is better then a razor blade. Thanks!
I liked and subscribed today. Looking forward to new videos. In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying your previous ones. This one makes me wish I had a kiln, esp after I checked your home channel list. If the rest are anything like this one, I’ll be improving my pottery skills. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to create such wonderful content.
@@harishshah2510 Sorry for the confusion! They both work but will give different results. With the tip of the whistle under the water like the drawing, you will get a bird like warbling sound. Tip above the water and moving the whistle around will give you a slide whistle sound. When I make them I will three or four at a time so it is fun to have a variety of characters and sounds. Good luck!
I'd like some more instruction or specification on the mouthpiece. Mine aren't working. Does the thickness of the "grain of rice" matter? How much clay do you cut off of it to make it flat? How big is the hole after you cut the 45° angle? I've made several, & I just hear air.
Sorry for the late reply I have been trying to think about the best way to respond. To answer your grain of rice question, it is tricky because I talk about rice two times in the video. Please go to 8:17 in the video. What I call the window is the opening/hole cut in the the tube, that opening should be about the width of cooked basmati rice (long grain) this is the first time I mention rice. The second time is when I am talking about the grain of rice sized piece of clay that is used to plug/close the whistle. That rice grain just needs to close off the tube before the drop. You can see the size of the piece I use at 9:00. Your question "how much clay do you cut off to make it flat?" I do not understand to make what flat? How big is the hole it is about the size of a rice grain but it depends a bit on the diameter of the dowel you used, bigger dowel means larger resonant chamber means larger window. Hope that helps! Good luck they are tricky!
The clay is a cone ten stoneware called bravo buff from clay planet in Santa Clara California. Any clay with good plasticity should be able to roll into a thin tube. Good luck.

I really enjoy watching your videos. I love this whistle!!!! I could watch you make water whistles all day. LOL! I'd love to see you work on others.
@@lesliepease3988 Thank you so much, that is very kind of you!
Those are so cool! I’m happy to see how well your students are doing. I’ll have to make some of these to show my students. Happy potting, my friend.
Thanks Sue!
I’m making some of these today! Thanks for the great tutorial! It took me a minute to get the whistle part down but I think I got it now. Cheers!
That is so great!

Hi Dennis!

Thank you so much for the kind words!
Omg!!! I totally want to make one of these.
Awesome go for it!
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback!
That was great information. Can't wait to try it. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
EXCELLENT.
ONCE YOU SAID THE WHISTLE PART BE ABOVE THE WATER LEVEL BUT THE SKETCH SHOWED WHISTLE END BELOW THE WATER. WHICH IS THE CORRECT ONE?
@@harishshah2510 Sorry for the confusion! They both work but will give different results. With the tip of the whistle under the water like the drawing, you will get a bird like warbling sound.

Спасибо! Потрясающая видео ❤
thanks
Welcome
Good work sir
Thank you sir!
Wonderful work thank you
Your amazing
@@ripross2520 What?! You’re amazing!
I imagine you add the water through the whistle part ? Or through the top hole ? Can you give an idea how much water is required ?
Yes add water through either opening (after firing) and any extra water usually shoots out. I find that the water whistles are pretty self adjusting.

Can the hole in the top of the head be made through the beak of the bird instead?
Yes. Just as long as the hole is above the surface of the water.
That would be good design too!

How much water do you add ?
@@amandabaird7737 I just add water and blow into the whistle. If there is too much it will get blown out.
Wondering can you use different size dowela
Yes you can use different size dowels. You will have to play with the window size, but the principals are the same.
@@povpottery3648 thank you they look so amazing
Do You glaze inside? Hoy do yo glaze the piece?
Just glaze the outside and bring the clay to vitrification so it is waterproof inside.
Can you please tell my what type of clay do you use? I am having trouble finding a good quality clay online.
The clay is a cone ten stoneware called bravo buff from clay planet in Santa Clara California. Any clay with good plasticity should be able to roll into a thin tube. Good luck.
thank you so much!@@povpottery3648
This whistles were made and used by Indians in ancient times.
Cool!
Of course
Wondering can you use different size dowela
Yes you can and I have used different dowels.
