Step 5 Drill the string holes

The string has to go around the finger tips to pull them closed, and then continue down the length of the pipe.  That means it has to make a 90 degree turn at the end of the first finger tip.  It can do that, but friction is increased at the holes in the tip and you don't want the string to wear out.  Shape the holes to be string friendly.  I use an X-acto knife to round the hole edges.

you could use a hot nail to melt the edges so the string wont fray as fast.
