Mouthpieces

If you have the urge to try your hand at whistle-making, you'll probably find it much easier if you have a pre-made mouthpiece to start with.

Suitable tubing for your whistle's body can be found at your local home center, plumbing supplier or hobby shop - or in your own bathroom, if the rest of your family doesn't mind living without the shower curtain rod and towel bars

You'll find that PVC, copper, brass and aluminum tubing are among the most popular materials for the bodies of home-made whistles.

Some mouthpieces are available that are not pictured below (see the full list at the bottom of this page)
