Homemade PVC Whistles

Since many people have asked where I learned how to build these, here is a good video that could help you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l-sLVdjCfI
all I did was cap my whistles and make it so I could blow them together as chime whistles.

I've learned how to make these online, so I made two 3-chime whistles, a steam locomotive whiste and a steam ship whistle. The ship whistle sounds better in real life, although there is a little more chiff than I would like

@eatme2487 Well you are incorrect for two reasons:

1. I am Italian

2. I am a heterosexual male.

Very nice sound. Say, I don't suppose you could give me a few tips on how to make some of these (Been trying to make a working whistle with copper pipe, but I'm failing miserably...) What I'd really like to do is give my live steam loco a voice, seeing as how one wasn't included in the kit....

[LNERMallard]

@Shipwright1918 Sure, The bottom of the mouth of the whistle should not be at the top of the dowel/ plug you used. The plug, like I mentioned in the video, should have a smal chunk sanded off of it. I recommend using a dremel like I did.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOUR WHISTLES SOUND REALLY GOOD. MOST KIDS YOUR AGE CAN'T WIPE THEIR ASSES WITH BOTH HANDS. BE PROUD--OLFARTT

@olfartt1 Thanks a lot, appreciate it.

Those would be loud if you hooked them up to a compressed air source.

Just so you know, PVC is some pretty toxic stuff. Be careful to not touch it to your mouth, always wash all surfaces on skin that it touches, and never burn it. I read online somewhere that a fire had broken out at some house, and when the fire fighters got to the back yard, some PVC pipes had melted, and the fumes killed two dogs. Sad, I know. :(

@LNERMallard for copper pipe do NOT use dowels use a thin plate of metal missing the little chuck about how the dowel looked but do not use dowels for anything other than wood train whistles and pvc
