Hi all.
I've reasently got acces to all sorts of metalworking tools, lathes a. s. o., so I might try to advance from making the low tech whistle to making a metal thingie!!
To that I have a cople of teknical questions.
1: The edge of the blade. Is there an optimum hight from the windway floor (perhaps 1/3 of windway hight)?
2: Again the edge of the blade. The angle/arch of the edge, is there an optimum (perhaps 10 - 15 dgr)??
3: The end of the windway. I see that some are making a chamfer. Is it nessesery? How big?? Angle/arch???
I hope that you understand the questions and some of you will answer some of them.
Thanks
Peter Juul

I agree - I've always been curious about what a fipple looks like from the side view - like if someone would take it off and cut straight down the middle. If you could afford to sacrifice a cheapie, that might answer a few of your questions. I imagine that even a dremel would suffice for that cutting job.
