How to make a cedar wood low D Irish whistle with Nick Metcalf

http://www.irishwhistle.com • Nick Metcalf shows a large portion of his process of making a Cedar wooden low D Irish whistle and the tools he uses to make his amazing instruments. • What isn’t in the video is cutting the tree down and carrying it nearly a mile up a steep hill, cutting it to size, letting it dry in the workshop for 2 years, turning it round, boring it into a tube. Also the parts where I tune it precisely are left out as I used my phone for that and couldn’t record it. But everything else is in the video. Don’t think any other maker will show you this much of the process! • Also not shown is the custom lathe tool tips that I make, the 25 years of experience making whistles, and my collection of very specific tools for the purpose of making whistles. But I hope the video is interesting and helpful so you can see what goes into making a low whistle out of wood. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.
