Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has any information on making xiaos from PVC plumber's pipe. I'm interested in trying my hand at it just so that I can get started learning (both the playing and the making of the instrument ;D).
Hope you're all doing well. Happy Easter!
Phillip

My friend Don made one. It sounds nice. I don't know how to make though.

This actually works great since it has the measurements. I've got a ton of material on making high end shakuhachi from PVC (sounds like an oxymoron I know). I downloaded it in the hopes that I could apply the principles to making a xiao. Since what you provided has the measurements, I think I'm all set. If there is anything out there in English, though, I'd be most interested in seeing it. Thanks Allen!!! Phillip |

Best wishes, David No problems here. They say Mac users tend to have a superior air of smugness. 'They' being Windows users who have to update their virus checkers monthly  PS Phillip - not sure if you've forgotten: sites.google.com/site/modernethnicflutes/ Francois de Villiers has all the accurate measurements worked out for a plastic xiao as well as the South American quenacho. You could try asking him to help you with the measurements.... |

Be careful if it is conficker....The name comes from english Con and german ficker(i would not like to explain what that means here).
At times i have to ward off various at attacks(like SYN etc.) from many dark websites.Be careful u never know who is the other....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConfickerConficker, also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido, is a computer worm targeting the Microsoft Windows operating system that was first detected in November 2008. More the reason to use Linux, but I'm digressing.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. I think I have what I was looking for now. But if anyone else comes up with anything, let me know.  |
