Bradd Did you buy the Jobmate from Canadian tire? @ $20 I bought that one, for what you get it's a great deal and suits the purpose. I had bought one a few...
Bradd, Thanks for the complete process. This should go into the files. It would be great for anyone wanting to learn more about flutes. Thanks again, Carl ...
Just a question open for thoughts. I wanted to tune a flute to a diatonic scale so I was lookin at Recorders and how they are tuned. More than one time I saw...
1. The taper brings the lower holes up higher to minimize stretch on the bottom notes. 2. The taper begins to close the bore slightly at the bottom and...
I really like cedar. It makes great flutes. Recently, I've been making Cedar Jewelry and now I decided to make a cedar string instrument. My attempt is a...

I would like to get some idea of what to expect from my Dremel tool when used to tune finger holes. I am using a #952 grinding stone (th big brown one), but...
Hi Ed, It sounds like the right stone to use and 15,000 sounds about right. The stone should burn the top of the flute open wood open. It might smoke like...
I sure did buy that tool and love it so far! Soonest, Akweriahne'ke, Bradd (Thaweno':ken) Powless Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Tyendinaga Territory ...
Hi Jim, I have poured over the recorder files myself and know what you mean with the tapered holes from the inside. Actually, I start my SAC Exit, TSH and...
Just want to be sure I understand this topic. As I understand the recorder, the bore itself is tapered, and the finger holes themselves can be tapered by...
What a eureka! I will have to read this a couple of times with time to let it soak in. On the first reading I think I got the gist of it and is interesting. ...

Bob, I guess I have never thought about it, (maybe I never wanted to bring my work into flutes, LOL) but I use to design liquird cooling systems. Not cars, the...
In simplest terms removing any material from the hole (including the south end) tends to sharpen the note. Any shifting of the hole north (center of the hole)...

When it comes to adding artistic designs to the flute exterior, can someone explain the differences between lacquer vs paint? Strengths and weaknesses for...
Hi Kieth, There is a vast difference. A dictonary is probably the best place to start. Either can, and usually are, loaded with driers and other carcinogenic...
I used a 1-quart can of the Miniwax Fast-Drying poly in a high gloss finish. I mixed that with about 1/2 quart of paint thinner. Seems to work well. Totsuwa ...
