12g fox whistle mod

Post by Flip »

Hi All.

I know it's not any thing new, But over the past couple of days I have been messing about with trying to tune a fox whistle made from 12g shell ends, I have found that by inserting the rubber off of a cheap tap washer into the middle of the two caps that it has changed the tone that the whistle makes to a highr pitch. It also has made it only work from one direction. But I don't see that as to much of a problem

I was wondering if any one else has played around with them and found other ways to tune or change the tone.

Ok, some picks as requested.

Also I for got to mention that the washer fits better if it's a used one.
