DIY membrane reed FOONKI

- This video shows you how to make a membrane reed instrument that I call 'Foonki'. The video starts off with showing a range of simple membrane reed instruments and leads up to making an F major FOONKI, complete with all measurements as a screen shot at the conclusion.

I wholeheartedly applaud the decision to use a mute demonstrator and an invisible commentator.
This is positively the top best video I have watched in the whole history of youtube, by far. Instructive, detailed, dense, funny, lovely, inviting, no waste of time with boring presentations nor self proclaimed erudition. This guy is a pathway to internet's salvation. Thank you Lindsey Pollak for being here
I love the tonality from those T-junction instruments! It sounds positively medieval, although they're entirely made from modern materials. Great that you're sharing your hard-won knowledge born from creative ideas and years of trial and error 👍
The chosen scale and melody plays a big role on that too. But yes. Can definitrly be applied to some medieval times music.
You would like Nicholas Bras’s channel! He makes instruments like this a lot
Rarely is an instructional video engaging and actually dense with information for the entire play length. This is one of those videos.
Some notes for anybody who wants to make this instrument:
1) For long-playing it's better to use an adjustable steel clamp with a soft sealing to fix the membrane;
2) The tone is VERY sensitive to the distance from the end of the pipe to the membrane, so the pipe connection must be really tight, but with the possibility to move it precisely.
bonus: me playing membrane bagpipe th-cam.com/video/ZaPdbWUDnsk/w-d-xo.html
@Classic Max "how the end of the inner pipe aligns with the end of the tee" - yes, exactly. I use only plastic bag pieces as membranes.
@Classic Max About pitch: when you make any whistle/embouchure hole instrument we have an air column as the main resonating element, so all other circumstances have little effect, and calculators like Flutomat work well. But when we have any moving element - reed or membrane, the situation becomes much more complex and we can't expect the same behavior on column length change, because the properties of the membrane or reed have a serious and non-linear effect on the resonant frequency of the system as a whole.
I just 3D printed it as a screw-on cap, so with a reasonably fine thread pitch you can make very precise adjustments. Just remember to teflon the daylights out of the thread so it doesn't leak.
Thank you so much! My little cousin wanted to make his own flute and we wanted to learn how to make a simple reed with some PVC and tape (we bought balloons once we saw the video). He is so happy now! You made at least one kid smile =)
still to this day watching your videos blows my brain as you take modern day simple items and make amayzing instruments with them,. defintly would love to try this out
Thanks for all the helpful advice! One of the hardest parts for me was how to attach the membrane with enough tension, but you explained it perfectly!
The flow of this vid is quite charming, also cool minimalist design!
Thank you so much! These reeds sound awesome!
Hero! I watched one of your foonki videos, didn't have a drill and pipe so took the head off a tin whistle and used the tube. It works! Sounds like a chanter. Love what you do
Haaa ! You are very passionate about these things ! Nice video !
you are a genius my man what you have created and shared is really amazing ,thankyou l am going to try and make one
Fantastic!
I want to try making one of these and pairing it with a set of regular Scottish smallpipe drones and bag. The tone is really pretty good.
Wonderful!
I have your book! This is great!
really cool! but is there a way to calculate hole sizes for other pipe sizes? unfortunately 1/2inch doesnt really exist in germany O_o
Thank You!
Thank you so much for posting this! I always wanted to make one since your condom bagpipe video came out!
Thank you very much! I am making do much noise with my new foonkies
GENIO, saludos desde PERÚ.
Perfect ! I was working on this low tech solution, watching among other videos the" Fils de Flute" channel and some of yours carrot clarinett !
I really get trouble to find a good way to calculate the distance between holes according to diameter, length and thickness of the tubes. Do you have an advice or smthg that can help me Linsey ?
Amazing
brilliant
Fantastic
Thank you so much, very clear instructions but giving me a lot of room to play around. I understand the parts I need. How does the relationship of the finger holes affect the sound. Like doe you tune then by their placement along the tube or on the diamanter of the hole itself
Bravissimo!
I believe your people say "top work"? Well it is, and fun and funny too. Thanks!
U are GREAT!!!:::...
Is it possible to overblow these instruments? Or are we limited to the fundamental?
fundamental
I’ve modified your reed design for the foonki not sure where to contact you but.
So I thought I’d comment on your foonki video.
The modification I made ditches the t section for a straight section allows for a more wider range of instrument shapes.
You may like it i made a foonki based off of this that’s a dragon foonki it’s on my ch if you want your vids are inspirational in that aspect and i thought I just had to modify your design.
In one of your older videos you mentioned that your not sure how to put said membrane on a pipe without a t section well this may be the solution a working one at that
If I could draw a digram using these and you can read it just let me know if not I may have to get all artsy with a pen and paper to draw out a blueprint for you.
Here goes my attempt at explaining the double chamber separated by a wall with a membrane going over the edge of both chambers
__ membrane
Body/sound-- ; -- mouth piece
Wall
That’s the best I can do using dots dashes etcetera but it’s easy to read top piece is the membrane excetera a blueprint written using dots and dashes
This is what I used this modified reed on th-cam.com/users/shortsoHNYbfIbsfo?feature=share
Still a while to go before completion though shouldn’t be to long now two or three days it is working however witch is the main point sounds ok to
Edit the project was completed on the 6th nov 2022 videos up you may like the sound it produces here’s the link if you want to have a look at the sound and design you may like it it’s pretty unique 😂
Took me 7 days to complete due to the complexity of the design.

My next one will be a manta ray foonki!
Updated my ch with a video better explaining and showing the redesign of your foonki reed

Love this instrument. Great work. Now not trying to burst your membrane...but is that plastic ok to put in your mouth?
Thank you for this. Have you set up instruments like that to have two or more registers?
Does having one (or two) conical bores change the sound the way it does with the cylisax?
Is it possible to put a cap on top of the garbage bag membrane? So the flexible membrane is separating a sealed air pocket from and the tube with the holes? That might change how the membrane vibrates(possibly in bad ways) Like:

hello a big hug my friend I love your channel !! I love your job!! after a lot of effort and work I finally made a mini clarinet with pvc pipes !! I also made the mouthpiece which actually works quite well !! the problem is that I still do not know the position of the holes ... is there a formula to find the location of the holes? a big hug brother and thank you so much for making and uploading these videos! a big hug from Zulia, Venezuela!
YES
Im having a hard time getting the right tension on the membrane, the low F keeps jumping all over the place (between Eb and G) and putting the instrument out of tune.
Do you have any tips?
Do you have any tips?
TWO COOL
Can you make us a diy eullean pipe?
Where does the name come from?
I don't know where, but he sells a pdf book full of these. I bought a copy many years ago
I feel like you could faithfully (hehe) recreate Last Temptation of Christ with those.
Can you do a tutorial for bagpipes, like your condom or glove bagpipe?
Imagine Polish Cow on this
