A felt lined beer stine works fair if you hold it upright.

Perhaps if you came up with a good anti colgger. It would sell like whistles or hot cakes.

I have had some of my whistles for a few years. I never thought about selling them. I must be more of a newibe than I thought. I buy and play some so am I a whistler evan if i do not sell them? OK now i am confusing myself.

Yes there is cool pan pipe tune that is playable on the whistle and it can be played fast or slow and improvised. "El Condor Pasa'' is on almost every cd of that type of music.

Sky hooks can be a little costley for whistle work. A good stout tree should hold the weight. I contaced a friend of mine who made containers for holding rivet holes. He said if there is enough interest he could down size them for holding tone holes. Bill can be contacted through your search engin b...

Excuse me I meant C&F.

I have tried the C&H Tweaking and found it very simple and easy to follow. How ever I did not use the recomended filler for the fipple cavity. I did not want to go to the store for sticky tack or hold a candle. Instead I put in some stay soft clay. It might fall out when the weather warms but fo...

Jerry, first I am very proud that the worlds only full time whistler tweaker is seeking me to share my knowdgle. A pipe strecher is just about what you had set up with your truck. But insted of a truck we used six ton chain blocks and icreased its pulling capicty about 40% by having three men pull o...

I removed some Generation fhipples with the hot water method. But also found that the tube needed to be cleaned of the sealant or when the fipple was replaced it seized up again. I once worked in a ship yard that used hole movers and pipe streachers, but they are probley to large for a whistle. Zero...

Many moons ago I taught myself how to make and play Native American style flutes at camp. Than began teaching youth how to do the same. Since there are no real written records of music played by Native Americans before Columbus, I learned and taught improvisation. Then I came across a Waltons d whis...

I belive Jerry is correct in that moisture content of untreated wood will change with relative humidity. Applying oil to wood stablizes the moisture content and prevents expansion and contraction cracks.

My metal whistles need to be warmed before playing. Do wood whistles also need to be warmed?

Miffle, there are others of us that play in the garage also, and make whistles from cpvc to understand how they work. I performed in the hardware store saterday morning once and recieved a round of applase. Pepole in the hardware store dont always know much about music. I also play for youth at summ...
