    Penny whistles, low whistles

    I've been trying my hand at making penny whistles and low whistles recently.

    This is the first low whistle I made (In the key of C)



    This is what it sounds like.

    Nice. I made a low whistle in D out of PVC, years ago. I really want a whistle in F, I should just make one. The copper pipe looks nice.

    Hi

    Do you have the URL for the site about making whistles? I've played the whistle for years and wouldn't mind trying my hand at making one.
