I never realized how simple a whistle is. Thanks Mr. Pete!
Excellent video. Whistles are one of those technologies not seen much today but are a fantastic demonstration of physics and also super fun. I am tossing this into the book for my future children.
👍👍👍
For every one that asks for something, you have hundreds that had the question but didn't ask. Thanks for the video
Thank you Mr Pete. This is a very interesting and fun video.
Our state had a long string of dummy Governors. We finally got a real Governor back in the capital building and the win was talked about all over the United States.
👍👍
What state was that? I’d love to hear of one state that has a “real” governor. My state almost always elects D’s instead of R’s. They’ve honed the free stuff promises down to a fine art.
Thanks again Mr. Pete. I always enjoy relearning things I have forgotten over the years. I need to make one of these to use as my garage door alarm. I get visitors who just walk in and surprise me. I think having that as my door alarm will scare them sufficiently to require a change of shorts. No more visit. Win win for me.
lol
God bless you Mr. Pete I absolutely love your videos. You're one of the best on TH-cam
Thank you very, very much indeed
My dog and I loved the video. It was fun watching him freeze every time you blew a whistle. You’re the greatest Mr Pete!
That’s funny
None of us are born with knowledge. And if it is not passed on, then it can be lost forever in less than one lifetime. Please keep it coming. Thanks
Yes, you are right
My neighbors are going to love you for showing me this! I've already made some giant wind chimes....
Please do!
Hello Mr Pete, I think that the plug with the flat is called a "fipple".
Thanks for the video but I didn't know you were a "whistle blowerr" just couldn't resist🤗😎🤗😎
Yes, I am
Thank you Mr Pete. The humor you inject along the way is priceless.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good Morning Mr. Pete. I am expecting my first two grand children this October. This video is perfect to keep in the toolbox for those times I get to spend with them. If you don't object, I would like to include it with the Mr. Pete's Projects page. Does the flat size on the piece inserted affect the sound like the diameter and length of tube? Thank you for sharing Lyle. You put a big smile on this soon to be papa's face.
Speaking of dummy Governor's, I think it is near plague levels. 😀
Joe
Hi Joe. By all means include it on the project page, although there are no drawings. And I cannot answer your question, that requires experimentation. Sounds like you are expecting twins. Too good to be true, you will absolutely love them. Praise the Lord. Lyle.
Thanks for all you do for my channel
Was it worth it? You had fun making it, and we had fun watching it. Of course it was worth it!! I have a box PVC cutoffs, now I have a fun project to do with my grandsons. Thanks, Mr. Pete!
👍👍👍
Another great video. Love the bits of humor thrown in for free!
Glad you enjoyed it
back to childhood, thanks to Mr Pete!
Cheers from the old continent...
Anything you do is educational. I'm 80 years old also and still learning. Thank you for your videos !!
👍👍
Great video, brought back childhood memories of making them with my friend.
What a nice surprise on a Wednesday morning, to see Mr Pete all jubilant and sprightly. Makes this old man what to give a try on making a steam whistle for his own. Thank you. 😃
👍👍👍
Just so happens I have a couple feet of copper hanging loose might have a go at making one
Have watched several videos for shell casing. Not always successful. I do believe your tutorial will be of great help! Thank you.
Hiya, thank you so much for the video. I really needed it to understand how whistles worked. You gave me 6 hrs of info within a few minutes, so time not wasted!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I’m going out to the garage to make one for my grandson “Steamboat Sully”. He will love it!
Fantastic!
Good morning! great video.
Another great video
Good Morning Mr Pete!!!

👍🇺🇸🍊🍊🍊
Good morning!
Thanks for sharing. I have had good success cutting thin tube & metal by turning the hack saw blade backwards in the saw . same concept as the siding guys turning their saw blade backwards to cut
Thank you, I will try that
Waist of time? Never, I’ve always wondered about this. I will make one and call it my Mr. Pete. Thanks and God bless!
👍👍👍
Thats' K&S brass tube ( hobby tubing)👍 Good video, I made a replacement whistle for my old Weeden #14 engine too.
Hahaha! You had some great fun making this video! I needed those laughs.
Hehe, we have a dummy governor too. Ehh hem!
Very interesting vid. I didn't catch how you turned your new whistle from woo woo into a peep peep. The Mamod whistles are peep peep just like some British rail engines.
I am going to be attempting to make a steam powered organ, and this video helped out. Thank you.
I do, love your class.
👍👍👍👍👍
.....but Mr. Pete, removing the burr is the first and most important lesson you taught us!
Thanks for sharing. I would use a twig, carv the notch then slip off the bark, carv the air passage then slip the bark back on.
👍👍
No one mentions a hobby store these days. They used to be the only place you could readily get brass tubing , square brass tubing and rods, flats and hex for models. Nowadays, wooden model airplane kits are hard to find unless you want to construct 1/4 scale. Box stores, Walmart and computer games have killed off hundred of hobby shops. I have one in my town and he is mostly handling used trains, some model car kits (new old stock), and other hobby items and it is not anything like the hobby shops I used to go to and drool over the many different items they offered. Now, everyone wants instant gratification. The prefab Styrofoam airplane kits with electric motors have become the norm and gas engines of different sizes are unobtanium in nature. Even Tower hobbies doesn't sell what an older guy like me would be interested. Construction was more fun than the finished item and it could take days or weeks. Now, just go online and purchase instant fun, then put in on a shelf and let it collect dust. Where is my Nintendo Switch, I don't have time for this line of thinking. lol
Excellent rant and so true
Thank you Mr Pete. I'm going to make one for my son. He will only find it when he is home with his mom and I'm in the shop.😅
lol
You're not selling out, you're just making room for new projects!
True, I just bought a couple of stupid things today
This was awesome. Does anyone still make industrial air whistles?
We are constantly replacing electric audible alarms in wash down enviroments. This would last forever
Yes
Under size that adjustable plug and glue felt around it to fit the ID that should work
One of my best clases in musical education.Tell me how to do it and I´ll do the rest.Thank you,mrpete.
😄😄
Now im going to annoy my wife lol
I don't need a whistle to anoy mine.
I’m going to find a dry alder branch now and whittle one 😃
what great little project !
Cool video- I will make a very large one for blacksmith shop
Have fun!
Lyle -Good new video - I like it. I think I'm going to have to make one to tie into the shop compressed air system. Might be good for some laughs as I live where I can just blow it and probably the only complaints will be from the homeowner (my wife). LOL
Go for it!
Thanks for sharing enjoyed
You missed blowing on the long 1 1/2.
The partial plug that directs the air under the mouth is called the "block." Hence in German, a flute without the block is called a flote. One with the block, e.g., a recorder, is a blockflote.
Thanks
5:21 under size the plug and maybe fit a o-ring around the plug with some mineral oil and you should be able to get your idea to work Mr Pete, It would be a giant slide whistle
Cool project.... Thanks!
fine job. enjoying what you ate doing
you seam like a rilley cool teacher
Thanks
Great video enjoyed it
I need one of these in my vehicle to wake some drivers up
Love you man. Carry on.
😄😄
Thanks again
The block with the flat is also known as a “Fipple”.
Eu gostei! Estou no Brasil e quero construir esses apitos! Grato!
Mr Pete sir. We touched on your weight loss and was wondering do you know why ? Not aware if you mentioned it in a video I missed. Also you mentioned selling out ? I wanted to say if you are interested in selling your black and Decker 1321 half inch drill I would be up for that. Don't blame you if you don't. As I mentioned before they are one of my obsessions. I hope our weight loss is just getting old but it does seem strange. People are telling me they are noticing the weight loss on me a little more often
I think part of it is old age. But I gained a pound or two drinking protein shakes. I would give you the drill if you live close enough to pick it up.
The Delrin part below the mouth would be called a LANGUID in the pipe organ industry or a BLOCK if it was a wood pipe.
Thanks
I heard the whistle plug is called a "Fipple".
In the Westinghouse whistle is the plug at the bottom cut any different or is there still just one flat side.
Not sure, I just sold that whistle
Would that be the baffle?
A spent shell casing would be a good start for a small whistle.Dummy governor immediately makes me think of Chicago.
Yes, it does, but do not confuse him with the horrible mayors of Chitown

What a G
ha! sir, we made these noisy toys with bamboo sticks when we were kids.
Speaking of dummy governors, New Jersey's old one is running for president.
According to Murphy’s Law, he will rise to his own level of incompetence
👍
I think after this I need to go and wet my whistle
👍👌👌👌👌
Dummy governor? Makes me think William J. LePetomaine
Nice one, I remember (as a kid) experimenting with bamboo whistles, used a file to create the mouth opening just above the natural bamboo diaphragm and drill/filing the diaphragm to create the air slot. The result was not popular with the neighbors or their dogs for some reason.
🙂
I grew up doing the same! I kinda cheated on a school project with one of them in the 6th grade. I had to do a presentation about the Mayan people and I took one of my whistles and said it was replicated after the flutes ancient Mayans played. Lol, the teacher was very impressed, the Mayan gods not so much.
The more "mouth" the whistle has relative to the circumference, the louder it is. The whistles that have a full circle for the mouth are the loudest possible.
Thank you for that information. I am not exactly an expert on that subject.
you could tell people that's where the expression "loud mouth" came from.
@@willsheffield2000 I don't know too many people with extra holes in the rear of their throats, but I suppose they must exist :)
My mother could place two fingers into her mouth and whistle, very loud, almost 3 city blocks. She would whistle to get our attention, one whistle you are okay, two whistle you will get a scolding, three whistle you might as well move to another country. She placed her little outer finger on each hand so that they were parallel to each other and left a small gap between then she would whistle.
Amazing, I never heard a woman that could whistle that way. I was never able to whistle.
@@mrpete222 She would stick her two fingers in and separate them and then whistle.
Saw plans in a home machinist magazine project that fit a sheet metal + baffle in a 1 angle notched tube. Three of the chambers were blanked off with various length quarter round material producing 4 chambers.
How would that sound (blended)?
Loved the video, magazines don't have sound.
👍👍
Hello, the construction of your air whistle is very similar to an organ pipe. The block at the foot end is called a 'languid'.
Last Saturday I was at a funeral and a church with a huge pipe organ. As I sat there, I was thinking that I should take a picture of the pipes for this video, but the video was already complete and in the cam
Brings back memories. I remember as a kid getting the whistle pops. Oh and we have a dummy governor in NM.
Yeah
I've been contemplating building my own for my G-scale live steam locomotives. What stopped me was trying to figure out the dimensions to actually get a note out of it. Thanks for showing how simple it is.
👍👍
thanks mrpete , I hve been wanting to make one for years but didnt know hen worked , quite simple in fact.
As far as governors go they talk a line of you know what to get elected and then its back spending our money on things we never wanting or need , like why do ducks quack
Power-hungry idiots
During 80s we used to make out of bamboo 10mm diameter. It produce high pitch, and adjustable length makes it sound like a bird.
Hi Lyle,
Wish I had known how to make them when I was 60 years younger. Had plenty of the K&S brass tubing. 🙂 Stay safe.
K&S the company that markets that bras ,etc. Material you mentioned stands for "Stoop" Karsh and Wally Simmers both well known Chicago area free flight model competitors.Simmers designed a number of still well known designs. "Stoop" was a nick name derived from resemblance to " "Big Stoop" from "Ter4y &The Pirates".
Thanks
5:15 Just like a penny whistle.
Played with one many years ago when I was a kid.
Also yes, many many times I had really great stuff (to me at least) that vanished overnight do to most likely my mother.
lol
I made a lot of whistles out of bamboo, or "cane as we call it here in the south" when I was a kid, but as you said they kept disappearing. We have a lot of dummy governors that do the same as the one on your steam engine, nothing. Enjoyed the video.
The Illinois governor unfortunately does too much. But he does nothing for me.
LIKE!! NOW I have to start experimenting with whistles! Thanks for showing us! m NO, YOU DID NOT waste 6 hours!
>>> Can you show us the round internal base that brass whistles have and explain why they are round plunged where the air escapes through into the bore instead of a flat machined off plug?
>>It sparked my interest enough to get me to want to go and make some whistles.
Every state has a dummy governor.
👍👍👍
My brother and i used to make these out of Elderberry wood. Thanks for the memories.
Not a waste of time. Always enjoy the humor. Let's us know your ok. Lol.
MAGNIFICENT!
I may actually get my sorry behind into the shop and do this this week!
👍👍
I got a good story lyle! I was over at my good buddys shop (Adam booth) he happened to have a whistle on his desk and I asked "Adam whats that thing for" and he picked up the steam whistle and said "oh that's just what I keep my weedin" and we packed one up and got higher then kites on the devils lettuce!!!
Wow
My dad showed me how to carve one in a stick in Canada on a fishing trip once. I need to do that with the grandsons.
If you're talking about California's governor, and being a long time California resident, I can tell you the proper term is Governor Dipity Do. But Dummy Governor also works.
I think your governor is even worse than mine, if that’s possible. He sure doesn’t work for me.
Hi Mr Pete so are you having fun making your videos ? If you answer yes well then it's not a waste of time now is it.👍 And on the flip side we love watching Thanks for your efforts and dedication . JM
Yes and yes
a "dummy" governor would be properly called a whitmer.
I made a few whistles of this type with different lengths to give feedback sounds to a machine operator where there were a number of pneumatic valve discharges to hear in sequence. It was q precautionary method of hearing the cylinder whistle to indicate " Now you can press the next pilot valve.".
👍👍
I might need to make one of these! My husband is always out in the garage working when I'm calling him in for dinner and I have to yell real loud so he can hear me. This would be perfect to let him know grub is ready! Great video Mr. Pete, definitely not a waste of time. I always enjoy your videos!
Dinner whistle
@@mrpete222 exactly!!
Fantastic project.
Mr. Pete,
thanks for this video on Wednesday. And thanks for the intro, it reminded me of my school days.
👍👍👍
I attend the Rough and Tumble Historical Society flea market each August here in Pennsylvania where I'm a vendor there, and at noon, there's a whistle blow, and I was always fascinated by them. I'm hoping to put one on one of my tractors I take there, as anyone with a whistle blows it at noon. This of course includes sliding models as well. I did try to put an air fitting on a diesel truck horn, but it wouldn't operate. The air horn is a simpler design, so I think I'll try one of these. I might even try to make a three chime model. PVC is quite good for this, too.
Thanks for the information, Lyle.
👍👍👍
Great Video Mr. Pete, I always wanted a whistle, now I can make my own.
You can do it!
Fipple is the word you are looking for. The block that obstructs the inlet of a whistle except for a narrow air channel.
Thank you, I never heard of that word
Never made one but I will now that I know how . My dad and his brother installed pipe organs. always wanted one of the pipes now I can make one thanks .
I was at a funeral four days ago and a Lutheran Church. As I sat there, I was contemplating the huge pipes from the Oregon.
@@mrpete222 sorry for your loss. my dad and his brother might have installed that organ they were in Illinois where I was born .love organ music .
Every and any time you post a video no matter the subject is NEVER a waste of time, each and every bit of knowledge you share is precious and all your viewers / students are extremely lucky to have the honor of not only learning from You but passing that knowledge along with the story of how it was learned to future generations making sure it as well as You will never be forgotten. You are what this world needs now more than ever and the more of you there is to experience the better this world will be. BTW your jokes are the best part especially about the "dummy governor" Thank You Mr.Pete can't wait for the next lesson!!
Thank you very very very much for encouraging me to forge ahead with hundreds more videos
@mrpete222 I look forward to them sir!
I agree
