A pipe, which is also called ("sniffle", "tsevnitsa" or simply "pipe") - it is one of the types of flutes that was very common in Russia, it is a very old musical instrument. Often shepherds made it in order to entertain themselves and others during monotonous work. As a rule, a flute was made of reeds, reeds or other hollow material. In this article, the author will tell and show his method of manufacturing, following which you can repeat and make a musical instrument do it yourself.

In order to make a pipe, we need the following:

Materials:

- two wooden bars measuring 30 * 2 * 1 cm;
- PVA glue;
- a wooden sleeve with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a length of 4 cm.

Instruments:

- ruler;
- sandpaper;
- a pencil;
- tuner;
- small vise;
- file;
- drill;
- drills of different diameters from 0.8 to 4.2 mm;
- knife;
- semicircular incisor;
- two clamps.

Let's start manufacturing.

To do this, take two bars and mark them on them. It is necessary to draw the boundaries of the inside of the pipe. The inner channel should narrow slightly, for this on the one hand you need to make a width of 1.5 cm, and on the other - 1 cm.

Now we take one whetstone and clamp it in tees, with the help of a semicircular cutter we begin to cut out the internal channel.

We try to carry out this operation slowly, removing layer by layer, and we also need to monitor in which direction the wood fibers are.

You should get an even semicircle along the entire length of the workpiece. On the second workpiece we perform a similar operation. When everything is ready, you need to clean the internal channels with sandpaper, they should be smooth.

Next, let's move on to making the whistle. To do this, you need to deviate 4 cm from the top (where the wide end of the channel is located), draw a small rectangle using a ruler and pencil, it should be 5-7 mm, and should be centered.

Next, using a drill with a drill diameter of 4.2 mm, you need to make several holes that need to be combined into one oval window.

Then we take a flat file and make a rectangular window.

Next, using the same file, you need to make a small angular recess, approximately 30-45˚ - this part of the work is very responsible, on how sharp and smooth the edge will be, the sound quality of the instrument will depend on it in the future.

Now we take two halves and connect them together, fix with PVA glue. In order to avoid displacements and the parts glued together qualitatively, we use clamping clamps. Let the product dry for a couple of hours.

When the product is completely dry, remove the clamps. Now you need to take the wooden sleeve and use a knife to cut off the upper part, about 1.5 mm. You should get a flat, flat face. The sleeve is fixed with glue. See the photo for more details.

After the glue dries, we give the pipes a rounded shape, for this we use a knife. Further along the surface of the workpiece we pass sandpaper.

In order to make the instrument convenient to play, you need to cut off the upper part of the end of the pipe in the back.

Now the most interesting part of this work is setting up the tool. The first thing to do is blow into the pipe and listen to the sound, we also use the tuner for this. If everything is done correctly - the sound will be sharp, this sound is the lowest that can produce a pipe. This instrument will have 7 notes.
Mark up for six holes. We make the first mark, we will retreat 6 cm from the bottom of the pipe, the rest every 2 cm.

Next, we take drills with different diameters, with which we will configure. Often the flute is tuned in natural major, with such ranks of sounds of A sharp - Do - Re - Red sharp - Fa - Sol - La.

You need to configure according to this principle: the wider the hole is made, the higher the sound. That is why, first you need to make a hole of a small diameter, and then listen to the sound made. If the sound turned out a little higher - you need to drill a hole a little, making it wider. In this process, the main thing is not to overdo it, since the hole cannot be reduced back again.

We drill from the bottom hole. After it is configured, go to the next hole. The second hole should be adjusted with the first open, and so on.

When the setting is done, the flute can be slightly decorated and covered with stain.

The article is finished, thank you all for your attention.

So the main thing is that the bark lags easily. (I also pointed out that we need raw branches). And on the linden, she easily lags behind (as if they tear off her).
By the way, when a whistle was made (with one slot), you can make a large cavity under it and throw a pea - it will turn out to be a "police officer" ...))))))

Quote: Valery

And we made linden in childhood. You remove part of the bark from the edge of a raw stick, then you tap for a long time with a knife handle on all sides. Periodically, you check to see if the bark has lagged behind, trying to crank it, holding with one hand the “bare” end and the other with the bark .. At some point, it turns. Then you already make cuts (so that holes remain in the crust, and traces in the trunk. And then, remove the bark, cut the trunk as it is here, and put the bark back on!
... One slot - a whistle! ... Found a long, smooth and managed to remove the bark from it - a pipe!)))) ....

I don’t remember at the expense of linden, but they made of willow (shed). In this spring, it turns out better from young shoots.

Twenty five again))
Again you are with your reeds, it seems to have explained everything intelligibly.
And this I write about what I do not understand?
Okay, I’ll try to convey the meaning to you again!

1. The author does not say anything about the “reed”, this is your invention, because you have no idea what the reed really is.

Let's move on to the rules for writing an article, the existence of which, apparently, you do not know.
It says the following - Text rewriting in your own words (exposition, retelling) indicating the author of the homemade product. Uniqueness of the text from 90%. You can make your own changes / additions.
I think no need to explain why I highlighted the words?

The whole story about the reeds, which was written at the beginning of the article, is an introductory part, the so-called background, it was written so that the article would be more interesting. This, by the way, is not my invention - it is a well-known fact!

Bulrush, what is this mysterious plant that only you know about? After all, no one has seen him until now, and does not understand what it is. So tell us the truth?

Why rewrite what you yourself did not do, and even rewrite with errors?
As you may have noticed, most of the works published on the site are not copyrighted, what I do and the rest is called rewriting, copywriting.

As for the rest - I do not want to repeat myself; everything is written in the previous comment.

2. As a rule, I don’t find fault with clerical errors and illiteracy if it is not technical illiteracy.
3.

Concerning - The most essential moment of the sleeve installation has been missed: "Cut edge up, exactly to the edge of the whistle window."
I simplified the description a bit - It should have a flat, even edge. The sleeve is fixed with glue.

You did not even understand the essence of the claim.
4.

You write a lot, give everyone advice, but that's all, since you do not have a single written article with your own hands!

It’s better not to do anything than to tear like this, as is done in this article.
5.

So why should I listen to a man who himself did not do this?

Why rewrite what you yourself did not do, and even rewrite with errors?

What awkward quibbles? Why all this scribble?
Make me explain simple things to you.
Anyway !
What did the reed do to you? And here "The author has no" reeds "from which it is impossible to actually make such a tool."
I explain - we raise our eyes to the beginning of the article and read what is written there - As a rule, they made a pipe from reeds, reeds or other hollow material. In this article, the author will tell and show his method of manufacturingFollowing which you can repeat and make a musical instrument with your own hands. I highlighted the keywords. As you understand, we are not talking about the fact that the author had “reeds”. That was the backstory.
You say that you can’t make a similar tool out of reeds, it’s interesting why? I write briefly, take the stalk of reeds and make a flute from it, what is the difficulty? My grandmother told me as a child that before the so-called "Pipes" were made from reeds, or you want to say. what did she not tell me the truth ??). Well, okay, we drive this information into the search and give in to the story!

How could I make such an irreparable mistake - instead of the letters "and" I wrote "e", yes easily! Like any other chilovek, (you see, I wrote a mistake again), I can be wrong, because during the census of the article I was keen on writing it, so much that I allowed myself to make such an irreparable mistake (

Oh, these three holes, without which it is impossible to make a pipe. How does this change the essence of the matter? Yes, the author says "three holes", I have "several holes", for example, I could do without one, carefully squandering it with a drill to the required size. The bottom line is that we combine these holes and get one larger, three holes are optional, so this can be neglected.
Move on ....
"make a small angular recess, about 30-45˚" (for the author - "grind one side of the window at an angle of about 30-45 degrees").
Is the technological process disrupted here? I wrote in my own words, what's wrong? As you already understood, the census of the article is to exclude the repetition of AUTHOR WORDS, while eliminating plagiarism. A photo is attached to the article, which shows what we are doing. Did you read these lines "we grind one side of the window at an angle of about 30-45 degrees" and look at the photo you don’t understand what it is about?

Concerning - The most essential moment of the sleeve installation has been missed: "Cut edge up, exactly to the edge of the whistle window."
I simplified the description a bit - It should have a flat, even edge. The sleeve is fixed with glue. See the photo for more details. Why is this incomprehensible to you? Looked, saw - understood!

And not "with such a series of sounds," but "with such a series of sounds." This is perhaps my biggest mistake, which I admit, now because of me a person will not be able to play the pipes, eh (I did not want this.

Fuuuuh, it seems to have answered all the questions.

The question is where and to whom did I lie in this article?

It is necessary to rewrite wisely, “good words”, that is, for a couple of words that are incomprehensible to you. Have you decided that I am not at peace with the mind, and also a liar? Just a great saying, bravo! As for me, there is more stupidity in your above words than in my article.
Looking at your statistics, you are an avid commentator, you write a lot, give everyone advice, but that's all, since you do not have a single written article with your own hands!
So why should I listen to a man who himself did not do this?
I want to tell you the following: before pointing out a person’s mistakes, prove that you yourself do not commit them.
Buttons are easily clicked on, but only a few understand what they are for.
That's probably all!
Commentary is over. Thank you all for your attention!

P.S - Answering you, I probably would have written another article, but alas, I had to sit down and spend time on these unnecessary proceedings!

If you are rewriting, then you need to do this wisely, without distorting! The author does not have a “reed” from which it is impossible to actually make such a tool, nor “teskov”, nor “several holes” (the author has “three holes close to each other”), nor “make a small angular recess, approximately 30-45˚ "(for the author -" grind one side of the window at an angle of about 30-45 degrees "). Missed the most significant moment of installation of the sleeve: "Cut face up, exactly to the edge of the whistle window. "And not" with such rows of sounds, "but" with so close sounds. "
