ATB I remember making whistles from old fired 12 bore cartridge cases with dowel inserts years ago - very frustrating, but once you work it out you wonder where you went wrong! It is all in the the length of the chamber and angle/placement of the hole OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pitmanuk 2 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 well i have managed a very low quiet whistle. which is better, a longer or shorter chamber? and i have read a nice clean open hole is better (yes i know we all like that) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldTrapCollector 377 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I really cannot remember the dimensions or shape - I just know that it took me about a week of trying to get it right After that it was easy, but I have forgotten it all now. That was 25 years ago ... OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
