🧵 I don’t make my toy-whistles this way anymore (I now prefer a rectangular window), but I’ll explain a bit this easy version because it’s actually quite fun to do. If the wood isn’t very dry, I wait for six months after drilling it to allow the diameter to stabilise. Explanations in images or alt text 🤓 The secret is : when you look through the the duct (from the tip), you should be able to see the edge of the bevel – mostly above it, and only a little below it. #whistle #DIY

Hello! I'm Florent, a french guy who makes instruments in Estonia, mainly from the flute family. I only use wood from the nearby forest. I’ve had the account @monviolon@framapiaf.org for years but it was intended for discussing the violin. I’m opening this new account to follow artists and craftspeople and to present my instrument-making activities, which have now officially become professional ones. Please feel free to share this post to help me out 😉 #introduction #woodworking #whistle #fipple #handcraft
