Thanks for the detailed build. I made my first whistle just before watching your video and couldn't figure out how to get the depth of sound i wanted. Now i do, thanks to you!
I don't know about other kids, but my boys, and now my Grandson always enjoy the toys I made for them in the workshop. In fact, my Grandson won't even touch the plastic noise making gizmo's, and every time he visits, first thing he asks is, "What did you make me in the workshop Pappy"
Sir, you have just answered many of my questions concerning whistle making. I made my first whistle yesterday. I gave it to my two year old grandson. He went wild over it. I carved it out of basswood. Thank you for your information.
Very glad you demonstrated different fipples and tube depths. Thanks for taking the time and showing. Honestly your choice of music for the video almost drove me away. But I learned a lot by suffering through.
Great video, my grandson wants to make one, so I’ll assist him on the lathe, thanks. Just a small point, the background music sometimes made it hard to hear your voice and the whistles.
Great video Gord, Its nice to see simple and practical things being made, Could be used as dog training whistles even! Great project mate ! Cheers Bram
Hi Gord, THANKS for this video! I've got a need for a whistle that'll sound "sort of" like old steam riverboat. Your video gets me part of the way there. In an attempt to get the considerably lower pitch I'm going to try a larger diamter for the hole, consistent with what diameters of dowel that I have access to.
A whistle is the base for a flute, so if your can make a sound, you can control is simple enough... There is a kind of flute called an shepherd flute which is just an open tube with a few holes along it, but it's kind of hard to explain how to produce a sound off it (might show it in a video sometime, but it's not that interesting as far as turning goes).
Great video. Just wanted to share with you a whistle that I had as a kid. It had a stem that could be raised and lowered from the bottom. This produced a loud sound and variable sound all at one time.

Great video. I just tried my hand at a train whistle and the reeds were a challenge for me.
