I=B9ve built a few PVC flutes myself, and I think the issue is common to PVC.
Your best bet is to get your blowing edge as uniform and as sharp as you
can.

With my 4th 2.4 PVC flute (1=B2 PVC....not 3/4=B2) I took meticulous care to ge=
t
the blowing edge as sharp as I could and I=B9ve found that I can get more of
the upper register than with any of the preceding flutes. Of course, there
are still places the PVC just will not go, I=B9ve concluded (IMHO).

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hello to everybody! Gr=

I have built seven PVC shakuhachis=
(1.8, tuned in D) 
 
I can get all notes of lower (otsu=

sound of high (kan) octave with no results but the first two notes (ro and =
tsu). I've tried hard to 'overblow' to get these sounds. Actually I play sil=

1. The PVC pipe cannot reach such =
high frecuencies because of its rigid structure... 
2. My technique is wrong. 
 
What's wrong with PVC and Kan octa=
