  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… 😏

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@NoveltyBot/11

    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.

  10. 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.

  15. I'm sitting here wondering what might be the most visually challenging form of death to portray. I mean, gory deaths are pretty easy to show. #FrightClub #Whistle

  16. 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

  18. 5 years down the line they'll both be bored with their relationship because they couldn't recapture that energy from their first date. #FrightClub #Whistle

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

  21. 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

  23. Wouldn't that suck to find out you're fated to die in some ridiculously stupid way, like choking on too many gummy bears? #FrightClub #Whistle

  24. I wish I lived in a town with atmospherically empty factories. #FrightClub #Whistle

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