  1. I’m now making small pentatonic #bamboo flutes, thinking of children or others who play little or no music but enjoy making nice sounds from time to time.
    Lowest note: A6 ⇒ Very small (20cm).

    The bamboo is sanded and oiled. It actually looks nicer that way.
    I’ve gone for a fipple mouthpiece, but a straight one (I don't know how it should be called), with the widow facing you, opposite the finger holes. Apparently, this type of mouthpiece is typical of Eastern European flutes. Well, precisely… 😏

    From the ad copy:

    "Do you ever pick up a whistle without blowing it to see how loud it was? Did anyone? No!"

    Actually, I've never picked up a whistle and blown *into* it to see how loud it *is*? (I guess "was" would make sense if you were blowing it with a grenade or a bomb.)

    For all I know that thing would have been sat on by a wild skunk, and I don't want to try the taste of wild skunk butt, thank you very much.

  4. Here are my dimensions for a 4-hole #whistle that plays G pentatonic scale (an “intuitive instrument,” as they say): G, A, B, D, E—and then, an octave higher, G, A, B (and even D, with the finger-holes covered, as the 3rd harmonic). Nice sound, easy to play, not that hard to make.
    Bamboo (from a gardening store) with an inner diameter of 12 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm.

  6. Awesome film tonight, folks, and thanks for the fun during it! Gonna fall asleep watching Coffy in celebration of Pam Grier's birthday today. Sleep well, horror fans! . #FrightClub #Whistle Coffy

  7. Considering Corin Hardy also made The Nun, there could probably be a prequel crossover about the Spanish Imperial conquest in South America. . #FrightClub #Whistle

  8. I really gotta give this film credit for the kill sequences! Bit more conceptual and artsier than one's run of the mill teen horror! . #FrightClub #Whistle

  9. Legitimately evil and still a licensed minister; kinda like Night of the Hunter, with more little plastic bags! . #FrightClub #Whistle

  10. On the bright side, the parents aren't going to have their auto insurance rates go up because of an accident now. #FrightClub #Whistle

  11. And done! Here's my new drawing of Dafne Keen as Chrys for tonight's Fright Club presentation of Whistle! . #FrightClub #Whistle #Art

  12. Not blowing on ancient Aztec death whistles is also up to you. Just sayin'. #FrightClub #Whistle

  13. Am I the only one who thinks the titular whisle looks a bit like an incense holder that one would buy at either Hot Topic or Earthbound Trading franchise circa 2009? . #FrightClub #Whistle

  14. I feel like the Lovecraftian Illuminati middle-management rigged this one ... Just straight to the whistle; I didn't even see Fornicus: Lord of Bondage And Pain's Puzzle Sphere sitting around anywhere ... . #FrightClub #Whistle #TheCabinInTheWoods

  15. If this movie were made by William Castle, you can be damn sure that you would be leaving the theater with a plastic Aztec whistle ... . #FrightClub #Whistle

  16. 🤣🤣🤣 Curmudgeonly antique store owner: "Dun't blow the whistle! That there Weenie Whistle factory was built on an ole' Indian Burial Ground ..." This concept has potential! . #FrightClub #Whistle

  17. The coronor -- who happens to look a lot like Tony Todd -- gave the detective some insight into the meta tropes and he just decided not to push it! . #FrightClub #Whistle #FinalDesination

  18. 🤣🤣🤣 Sell of the cursed whistle with bootlegged copies of the tape from The Ring recorded over on old Forrest Gump VHS tapes ... . #FrightClub #Whistle

  19. Can we pan back to that half skull face painting thing, please? That was kinda cool. #FrightClub #Whistle

  20. So, what if you set up a contraption where multiple people blew on the whistle at the same time? Would multiple death entities show up and take them out all at the same time? Or would be just one, and you could sort of play around with it, taking turns letting it chase you? #FrightClub #Whistle

  21. I feel like this could have been avoided if they just listened to Indiana Jones ... . #FrightClub #Whistle

  22. I feel like that creepiness of that ornate skull whistle is doing a lot of the lifting. An Oscar Meyer Weenie Whistle could be equally haunted and only get a fraction of the terror. . #FrightClub #Whistle

  23. Cinema has fortunately come a long way since the 80s when the only way for a character to get revenge on jocks is by being a sex pest to his girlfriend! . #FrightClub #Whistle #RevengeOfTheNerds

  24. I look forward to people using A.I. to translate ancient Aztec death whistle inscriptions. It'll be fine. #FrightClub #Whistle

  25. The basketball scenes in High School Musical are a lot more intense than I remember ... . #FrightClub #Whistle
