I actually got two to work over the weekend. It was one I carved out of a cherry branch but it was my first working whistle. The other was the end of a buffalo horn. On to the bones.

Thanks Bert, I tried to make the process as clear as possible so that those who watched it were successful in making their own whistles.

This is very good video. If you show how to blow the whistle and make sound in the video, this will be a perfect educational video!!! For example, you mark one end. The the viewer know which end you blow. For example. How you put your mouth on the end of the bone.

Great video C.K. I've tried this before without luck, but having watched the video, I'm wondering if there may not have been a bit of bone fleck on the inside of the hole. Time to see if the insects have finished their work on that poor roadkill turkey I found. Would a flute or recorder style instrument be pretty much the same, just adding the additional holes?

Thanks! Yes making a flute or recorder is exactly the same. Also, adding the wax to make the ramp will help almost any whistle work, and make sure the holw does not wrap around the sides to much, that will keep it from working even with the ramp under the hole. Good luck and let me know how it goes! The oldest musical instrument identified is a flute made from a vulture wing bone that was 40,000 years old and MANY other partial flutes and whistles have been found in Paleolithic sites. Dont forget to make bone beads from the radius bones!

Using a flint flake, if available, would cut the hole more efficiently. This is an excellent lesson in making a whistle.

Thanks for your comments! Yes a flint flake would be more efficient and a carefully shaped drill even better. I try to show the casual viewer what can be done with stones they might have around them without the benefit of having a lithics background. Upcoming videos will show more advanced lithic tool production. Best, Chuck

Hi there, This video is excellent. I am wondering if you can advise me on a hide that I have. I washed it and then froze it while it was wet, before stretching. Do you advise any way to thaw it and stretch it to preserve the fur?

Hello I made a whistle following these steps. The initial blow makes the whistle sing well but when I blow more air to hit a higher note the whistle softens. What could be the issue?
@charleskritzon9359

The diameter of the bone and the length from the hole to the end of the whistle has everything to do with tone of the whistle. Blowing harder can introduce a doubling effect that creates a higher pitch in the whistle. The oscillation of the air inside the whistle is the ultimate driver of the output of the sound that occurred. Thanks for watching the video and I am so glad you where successful in making a bone whistle on your own.

I have an owl bones. Will this work with 🦉 bone? Owl wing bone
@charleskritzon9359

As long as it is hollow and fairly straight it should work fine. FYI, Owl bones (as all but game birds such as ducks, geese and turkeys )are protected and technically illegal to use, but I come across bird remains of all sorts. I usually end up sharing them with Native Friends who can use them in their ceremonial work. Good luck on your whistle.

@ValerieLaChicaLegendaria I support using any wild animal parts that have died of natural causes, but understand the need to protect birds from unscrupulous hunters and those hoping to make a quick buck off of killing and selling bird parts and feathers for profit. If it is naturally deceased or predated and I find usable parts I find nothing wrong in using these parts for personal or spiritual purposes. As long as it is not resold in any manner, I support the recycling of natural materials if done in a respectful manner.

How do you blow the whistle?
@petroglyphics
Жыл бұрын
Simply put the end of the whistle up to your lips and blow air steadily through the whistle. All whistles are different, some require only a little blowing some can withstand a greater amount of air through them and can make a very loud sound. It works the same way as any other whistle. Good luck!

ash from the fire would work.

Great Idea! With water the ash would mix with the marrow and make a rudimentary soap. With the right combination it would completely de-grease the bone. Thanks for the insight!

Yes, modern tools can make it much easier and more exact in many instances. but I strive to teach how all of the same processes were accomplished before the advent of modern steel, bronze or copper tools. When we we all truly atempt to "rewild" ourseleves into a naurela setting, we run the risk of not succeeding in our orgin l
