I like how there was random completely fire music out of nowhere. It's like WTF, no youtube video should have music this good.
So many talents, and he has his own musical laboratory. Genius!
A new musiquesdenullepart upload? Plus voice reveal, and a new instrument tutorial? Can this day get any better???😄😄😄
Thanks, already working on the next one!

Hey mate, you deserve an artist page on Spotify, don’t you? Thank you for the educative content 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks a lot! I have my album on Spotify right here open.spotify.com/artist/5jQStFAR37EeheSPIV7FiX?si=jSGhfFstS4mV5BkHJSzAfg
@@NicolasBras i just listened to your album and I think it’s just perfect 👍🤘
@@tdilek thank you!
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I would love any help you can give me
Every artist, who uses a distributor, gets an artist page on Spotify… that’s not an achievement and might even be free with the case of Amuse!
I just started backing on Patreon, was flipping through the book, I'm a little surprised that you don't have a build video similar to this one but for membrane clarinets? I loved your demo of them with your ducky bagpipe! 😍
The best of the best!!! Άξιος!!! Μπράβο Νικόλα!!!
Great video. Very clear and straight to the point.
Brilliant! Just made my first whistle the other day - was not working initially - so back to youtube - and I now see there are many ways to make a fipple! This looks like a great way to do it! Many thanks - Im off to the workshop!
Woooo!!!! I’m so excited that you are back!!!! I’d be super excited to see in depth string instrument tutorials
There is already some strings tutorials on the channel, and a lot more coming!
Exactly the video I was looking for, very informative, well-made, insta-subscribed, this video is a gem !
Fast and precise!!!!!!!! The best wistle making video I have seen.
Thanks!
@@NicolasBras Je le fais moi-même avec 7 trous (comme une frula serbe), mais bien sûr 6 trous est le classique.
Very cool presentation. I like how you've shown the steps but, at the same time I appreciate that you've must have had decades of professional level practice and experience to understand how wood winds function. I hope you do a side by side comparison one day.
I need to buy some good ones first, the real whistles from my actual collection are very bad ones!
Well done Nicolás!!
Looks great!
Very nice.
Thank you very very much.
Love from JAKARTA-INDONESIA 🇮🇩
Thanks! Cheers from Paris!
marvelous video, I’m only now discovering your channel! I love the Irish style reel at the end!
Thanks!
I love it! ❤️
Mate, you're a genius. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Yay ! Have to listen right away !
Parabéns amigo Belo estrumento perfeito

Great channel! I subscribed instantly. I make cigar box guitars but my true passion is flutes, Ocarina, and whistles. Can't wait to make them like you do!
Thanks, welcome!
Awesome work!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Very good. I'm going to try making one, and then in the same mold a pentatonic one. I even start the wish list for a video with a pentatonic flute :)
parabens Nicolas vou dar nota 1000 pra voce ,suas informacoes sao interesantes joi amigo.
Really lovely!!! you're crazy! here enjoying this with the family members and friends from school :)
Thank you!
Man... you are a genius! I made some of your projects! It's simply amazing how this project sounds!
Congrats! I'll check out your Patreon page!
Enfin un tuto de toi pour fabriquer une flutte :)
Thank you for a really useful video!
Thank you!
That was great!
Haaaaa, je n'avais pas vu la nouvelle vidéo. J'attends avec impatience les tutos pour les instrus a membrane :) Merci pour tes videos
Congratulations for those many steps! 🎶 It's very inspirational wishing you the best and sending many good vibes ✨ from Réunion island 🏝
Thanks a lot!
Extra extra, c'est trop génial!!!
Grand merci!
This. Is. INSANE!!!!! PLEASE MAKE MORE TUTORIALS OF THESE!!!!!!!!
Thanks, I will!
Wonderful
Gracias por compartir
Salut Nicolas ! La chaîne qui tue !!
Minute 4:51 = flûte de mes rêves !
Trop hâte d'avoir un tuto avec celle-ci !
Bravo. Sacré boulot.
Grand merci! Il y a tous les ingrédients pour cette flûte dans mon livre, c'est un mix de low whistle, de petites flûtes harmoniques et d'un drone façon flûte native américaine
Aí sim, e rápido no dedo hein parabéns meu grande mestre 😇🎻🎵🎶💯🙏👍
You make magic out of simple everyday things
wow this is so great
Increeeeedible
Thanks!
C'est merveilleux.
Grand merci!
La qualité est au rdv et bravo pour l'anglais impeccable !
Merci, je l'ai bossé!
I dont know if someone has yeat said, but to curve better the tubes you can fill them with sand or similar granular material and don't let the tubes too much deformed. I pretty liked your job! Awesome!
Thanks! I never tried with PVC?
Nice!😎
Mate, came here to say, i wanted to learn an instrument, and other stuff was just too bulky, made a version of this flute and fall in love with it, got a bit of a nicer one and it is now my companion :D
Elles sont sympas tes vidéos
merci!
Very good
Have you seen that guy who's playing some brave type music using PVC pipes and a couple of flip-flops. I would love to learn how to make that thing.
Of course! I made a few of those instruments too, quite easy to tune, just with the length of the pipes
Nice Video Nicolas ! Congrats to you and Sandrine :)
Thanks!!
Wow. Double recorder. Aolos, Shawm. One handed pipe to play w/drum. Great playing! Maybe whistle tabs to play along. Covid layed a good egg!
I take notes!
good job
Merci Nicolas pour les plans :)) j'ai déjà fabriqué trois Low D en suivant divers tuto YT, mais j'ai de toutes petites mains ! et mes doigts qui ne tombent pas naturellement ni même avec un effort sur les trous de la flute (surtout les trois en bout de flute)... Je vais donc tenté une Alto pour avoir une dimension plus courte. Merci pour tes conseils et ton énergie.
HE'S BACK FROM NULLEPART!!!
*Happy friendship day sir* Thanks * for providing us the information KNOWLEDGE definitely it will helps people who LOVE flute best wishes for you sir i'm amit goswami FROM INDIA a flute lover LIKE YOU and want to learn FLUTE instrument sir aap ki videos ajj dekha acha laga
how to pronounce whistle using french word: oui seul
Thanks that helps!
Oui seul depuis que j'apprends à jouer de la flute 👋😆
I love how you say it though!
Instructions unclear: I now call whistles, weasels...
Sensacional 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
cest genial ! je ferai un low whistle !
Cool, envoie-moi une vidéo!
My eyes and hands are ready!
Awesome, I just subscribed.
Welcome!
Wonderful Nicholas???!! I'm going to make me one.
Great, send me videos!
Hyped for what you’ve got coming! I’d love to see a reed instrument tutorial or maybe a Fujara. I’m gonna go make a low whistle.
I take notes! I'm not a reed specialist, except my membrane clarinets, but I made a PVC clarinet a few days ago, I have to learn how to play it now!
@@NicolasBras super! I tried making a membrane clarinet once but it wouldn’t keep the same pitch
@@thanpersand it need to be tight, and all membranes are not equal! Working on this tutorial, it will be a big one!
super !!!
Merci mec
tu me régale le reuf
Simply Brilliant... Genius... I am inspired... wanted to buy a PVC whistle .. please guide me
I'm really looking forward to trying to build some of this next summer when the semester is over. I'll snap that e-book up when it's done. Very cool
Oh wait, this was 3 months ago. Maybe its already out haha. I'll have to check
It is out!
@@NicolasBras Yeah I saw! I'm super excited!
14-13mm for diameter of dowel for the whistle, and For anyone else wondering the mouthpiece at the top I think must be flush with the top of the whistle and then finish where the wooden dowel ends. So, essentially, it is the same size as the wooden dowel.
My whistle has worked but I think I cannot play very well! Need to work on that
Génial Nicolas !!!! 😃👍👏 excellent ce petit son irlandais a la fin !!! J'ai fait un xaphone en bambou il y a qqes années . Tu connais sûrement
, mais ça peut se faire en Pvc .
Ouin j'ai bossé sur des versions clarinettes il y a peu!
Toujours un super boulot Nicolas !
Désolé je ne pourrai pas t'aider financièrement mais le cœur y est, je soutiens la démarche et l'engagement dans le temps !! ;o)
Grand merci pour ton soutien!
Super Nicolas .excellent comme toujours
Je te suis depuis des annees depuis la turquie et j ai toujours galere pour faire les whistles bass ,a causes des dimensions faites pour les traversieres ou pour les trous qui sont super compliques a percer correctement.
Par contre je fais mes tetes emboitables pour en cas d erreur ne pas avoir a tout refaire et pour changer de gamme vite fait.
ciao
J'espère que ça t'aidera !
Been listening to your music on Spotify - amazing!!
Are all your wind instruments played with PVC?
you should also show people how to make a minisax using the same material, if you haven't seen (which i highly doubt you haven't seen eric) eric the flutemaker you should look up his minisax. just found yer channel and it's cash money.
I made some clarinets, but I still need to work on my reed playing to make some videos with!
@@NicolasBras excellent stuff my guy. also a vid on how to make transverse flutes would be fly. I'm having trouble making a good mouthpiece on my PVC flutes, I'm sure we could also use more pointers. plus you could talk about the construction of the windways of your other flutes like the african ones.
great video! i was able to create my first flute out of this! the 1st octave is fine but how do you play the 2nd octave?
>jamming out to background music
Ça fait trois ans que j'attends ton album !!!
Tout est parti cet été tu aurais dû le recevoir..! Tu peux me renvoyer tes infos quelque part en message privé?
So glad to see you back! Hope you get a lot of support, this channel is very inspiring and needs to keep going for the pvc instruments community to grow and make music available at a low cost for more people.
Is there a way to submit subtitles in spanish for the tutorials? How can I contact?
Thanks for your kind words! There was a community subtitle system, but it is not available anymore!
While tuning, how do you get the higher octaves in tune with the low octave while not changing the low octave? Do you enlarge the holes in a certain way? I have made a wooden whistle but the low and high octaves are out of sync with each other and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks a lot! I will give this tutorial a try. Also do you have plans for a low F or F whistle?
I run into this problem with flutes made from wood or bamboo, but rarely with PVC flutes. I don't know if it's the more consistent bore shape or what, but very frustrating!
I've read somewhere that making the hole bigger while tuning will do more to the low octave but moving it up or away from the end will do more for the higher octave
For an already carved whistle, you can try the same way as it is done in recorders: octave key. Try Hans Bracker's whistle and flute hole calculator. In this case, you will have additional fingering for clean C.
Hello, thank you for sharing this! Can i ask what tuning are you using?
So.... in those last instruments.... you seemed to use a system I have been trying to understand... the 3-hole Basque Txistu (in your vid two of them on a single "flute", genius!)
Ever done a vid solely on txistu and how its fingering actually works? I cannot find any material _anywhere_ online...! You would probably be the first..! (or, there is a similar instrument with the same system?)
Also ace tutorial, going to see if I can do something with this 😀
love it !!! straight up, was that really your plastic whistles playing ??
Of course it is, I don't have traditional whistles, only my PVC ones!
@@NicolasBras Sorry for the question . I meant to delete it after then watching your other videos. I was very impressed by your lecture in France . You are very charismatic by the way and clearly a very fulfilled individual. thank you for your time and knowledge. respect
Brilliant video tutorial 👏 me and my daughter are going to make one for her school "make a nusicsl instrument" project
magnifiqué! been itching to make a pvc whistle since i saw one of your videos over 3 years ago. i should get on that!
(Not to be a negative nancy, but the "T" in "whistle" is silent)
Great, send me the result!
Yes I just learned the silent T, I will try to remember for the next one! Do not hesitate to correct my terrible frenchie prononciation!
I was lately also struggling with building a flute... Do you have any webpage recommendation for calculating flute holes and which tuner app do you use?
Looking forward for more tutorials in this awesome quality and more instruments I can try to build myself (in case of lots of upcoming free time ;)
I never used a soft to calculate holes, I observed a lot of flutes and start from this... but I'm finishing my ebook with a lot of infos into, I'm sure you will find what you need!
@@NicolasBras yeah. I tried different softwares but at the end I ended up with randomly trying. Worked somehow, but I'm definitely excited for the ebook :)
You can calculate the hole spacing, but like the length of the whistle, it will take some adjustments (a.k.a. 'voicing'.) This is due to a lot of differing factors. Interior diameter, wall thickness, how rounded or square the edges of the holes are, the diameter of the holes (start too small, then enlarge), the stiffness of the body material and so on. If hogwarts had a class in whistle making, it would be considered a Dark Art. The good news is that with some trial and error, and patience, you can get a decent sounding instrument without having 20 years experience making them.
@@jfan4reva but theorically, mathly, in a perfect cylinder, that holes must to be in an specific point, no? Where must to be that places?
tuner t1 is the app
Hey Man great work. I rly like your work. Can i ask what tuner app do you use ?
This is tunable, the best for wind instruments!
❤
Question about the measurement... the number for the length to the fipple... is it to the block or to the labium? Also on the low d is the gsp 12 wide and 7 across or the other way 🤔
from the labium! It is 12 wide, normally on the blueprint you will see the rectangular form
Hello, It is great !!! Diameters of holes in the schema are plan or drilled ? Is the distance from the edge to the center of the holes?
Hello I am so excited to start making these types of instruments. A whole new world... Very interesting. I am struggling to find 16mm diameter pipes and dowels in the UK. Would it matter very much if it was 15mm, I would need to make the flute longer and the spacing of the holes would be different? And should the dowel match the internal diameter of the pvc pipe or the outer diameter
The dowel has to fit into the pipe, so inner diameter, you can adapt this instrument to every length, make some tries!
Make a tutorial of corrugated Pipe instruments
what's the tuner app you use? Really great videos !
Omg that was amazing! What's the song at the end of the video?
Thanks a lot! The track at the end is called Multisoufflant, from my album Homemade, you can find it on nicolasbras.bandcamp.com
I have subscribe your channel
I need a tutorial for that diaulos at the end!
excellent, as usual!
out of curiosity, do you ever make transverse flutes (as opposed to the chiff and fipple type)?
You will find a tutorial about PVC transverse flutes on the channel, and a lot more in my ebook!
bless you, sir! I used to have a bamboo fife from an artist at Pike Place Market. I busked with it several years around Christmas time outside one of the upscale downtown stores, playing a limited number of Christmas songs I'd figured out on it. that included a passing fair rendition of Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairies. I can't remember what happened to it, but now I can have a shot at making one of my own.
Great video!
What tuning app do you use?
Bonjour Nicolas et félicitations pour tes parutions TH-cam ! J'ai une question à te poser : quelle appli utilises-tu dans cette vidéo, pour analyser la fréquence des notes jouées ? Cordialement, Gilles
Is it possible to make one with a 20mm pipe? Would that ruin the tuning?
Does the wooden block need to be flattened on the upper side?
