"Brass Qwistle" - Penny Whistle by donaldlindsay

Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

These files provide two versions of a head piece, and a separately printed windway, for a version of the "Qwistle" 3D printed penny whistle. The original Qwistle is a fully-printed penny whistle in the key of "D", and can be found (both as a file set, and as a laser sintered, hand finished instrument) by visiting :

The files are as follows :
BQShort - this is the standard head piece
BQShortInchSlide - this is the head piece, with a longer "tuning slide"
BQFlat - this is the windway, which will slot into the head piece
To make a completed head piece, choose & print one of the head pieces, and one of the wind ways. You'll find that they push together, however the joint should be glued with for example epoxy before playing, to ensure that there are no leaks. If this isn't done, the whistle may not speak, or may sound very weak - likewise, make sure there are no leaks between the brass tube of the body, and the 3D printed head joint.
Please read the Print Settings and Post-Printing sections of this guidance in detail before attempting to print and use these files.
