Eleanor Plunket - CPVC D Whistle
This is a test run of my latest whistle. It is in D. It is tuneable.
It is made from ½ inch CPVC water pipe.
The fipple block is made from ½inch dia Acrylic from a hobby shop.
Since the id of the pipe is less than ½ inch (0.485 inch) the fipple was expanded to ½ inch in the fipple area ( approx 40mm) using a heat gun to soften the plastic then inserting a tapered wooden mandrel. So that the whole length of the windway and lip is ½ inch id. Below this it tapers to 0.485 inch.
The windway cap and the tuning sleeve are made from the same pipe but expanded to suit using heat and suitable dia mandrels.
The windway sleeve is 23mm long and but it was initially approx 30mm then filed and polished to its final size and shape after being fitted over the tube and block. The block is shaped at the same time as the windway sleeve. The sleeve is a force fit over the fipple and no glue is needed in assembly of the block or windway sleeve.
The fipple is made by cutting a slot in the expanded tube 8mm wide and 30mm long, slightly wider at the mouth end. Then the lip is carved. If the lip is made too sharp it will pop up to the second octave before
you get a strong lower octave note. The block slides in and is 5mm from the lip.
A slight taper is filed on the top of the block to increase the Bernoulli effect. But nothing is filed off the end nearest the lip.
The tuning sleeve is 40mm long.
We cut the fipple tube 68mm below the lip. Then slide the the tuning tube on to the
fipple 10mm. Use glue to secure it. Place the glue inside the tube (not on the fipple tube) so that any excess glue is hidden. Use the glue sparingly since very little is required.
Cut a piece of tube 197mm (or a little more). Insert this in the tuning slide
so that it is 7mm below the fipple tube. The overall length from the lip to the bottom should be 272mm (or a little more).
The gap inside the tuning slide is mportant. This will bring the top octave notes into tune. Without this the top octave notes will be flat.
Using a tuner file material off the bottom until you get the lower D (D5) in tune.
At this point the upper D (D6) may be off. The upper D will improve when you make the tone holes.
Drill the tone holes using a small bit (1/8 inch). the positions are (measured from the bottom): E 43mm, F# 68mm, G 85mm, A 108mm, B 129mm, C# 150mm.
Again using your tuner, tune each hole starting at the bottom, increasing by one drill size at a time until each hole comes into tune. The drilling burrs affect the tuning so remove them before using the tuner. If you leave each hole a bit flat you can do a final tuning later since it is messy to reduce the size of a hole if you go too high.
Lastly paint, polish or decorate then play away!
Dimensions may vary if the materials available at your location are sized differently, so you may have to experiment.
I learned a lot from Guido Gonzato at
http://guido.gonzato.googlepages.com
and from the shakuhachi page at:
http://www.navaching.com
But one has to do one's
own research and experiment.
