Eagle whistle

Eagle/hawk whistle

A normal dual whistle with two different tuned chambers to make it possible to mimic some eagle and hawk sounds. (Actually more hawk frequency than eagle in my opinion but this type of whistles are often called eagle whistles so I have chosen that name). It was much inspired by bluebearflutes videos about eagle whistles but I have chosen a different type of whistle chambers and tried to create a design thats not only printable but actually benefits from 3d-printing.

Fun fact: Most people think hawk sounds are eagle sounds since most movies are doing hawk sound effects to “simulate eagles”. Most eagles does not sound “cool enough” for movies.

For body I have chosen the design of a what I think is a native mexican wooden eagle whistle I could find a picture of online. Then the whistles was created inside and tuned to frequencies that I think will work (only 10-15 prototypes later… :) ). I plan on releasing a smaller more higher pitched version later.

As always, i'm open for constructive critics and tips.

Printing

Normal 0.2 settings should be ok. The whistle should be printed standing on the mouth piece with a brim and tree support for the wings. (Use manual support, not automatic. Automatic support will most likely mess up the inside). A material that you can do nice 7mm bridges with should be used (I use PLA)

Using

As described, this is a normal dual whistle. If you just blow in it you will get just a quit boring normal combined whistle sound. However, by using your finger above the whistle openings while blowing in certain patterns you should be able to modify the sound and create a wide range of high pitched sounds that will mimic eagles and hawks. You can look at bluebearflutes excellent video about it:
