Over in the fun challenge thread Treestalker challenged me to make a musical instrument.
I had some PVC pipe left over from making the snapshot bow do decided to make a flute.
A quick bit of research lead me in the right direction and I set about it.
I cut 15 inches of PVC pipe 3/4inches in diameter. I then marked the holes and took a drill to them. Then I have used cork to plug the other end and it was done.
It does make sound but it takes a lot of adjustment to the blowing technique to get It to do so. Just a lot more practice now to get proficient with it.
The Flute
The Corked End
And now a video of my step daughter playing hot cross buns on it.
