So, not haveing my blaster to work on is taking it's toll on me. I randomly came across a post about a Bes'bev. Following a link to Instructables.com i found PVC Flutes. Then in the comments i found a site with a diagram for hole layouts, and stuff. So in that page, i see a picture with it all laid out. Here is the link, it's very helpfull as opposed to (if) anyone was going to just drill random holes down a tube.

Here is the diagram i was talking about;

anyways, unlike my blaster thread, i will include pictures here step by step, and hopefully it will not only look like a bad -censored- throat sticker, but will sound great too!
Forgive me is any of this is old news, the last post in refrence i found was roughly a year ago.

So the plans call for a piece of PVC 15" long. i cut a 17" piece

Then tapered it out to a point, this is the end cleaned/uncleaned;

then drilled the holes;

what is not shown is the end where the mouth hole is, is sealed. and after roughly an hour of work..... i have what looks like a flute that does not play notes, lol. just WHOOOOOOOOOOOSH :laugh: .... I think is has to do with the fact that i didn't add an elevated part ontop of the mouth whole.... Or maybe the fact that i didn't understand half of the instructions (no musical knowledge AT all lol). either way, after i paint it it will at least look good. I don't plan on having this part of my costume, i was just bored and needed something to do.
