The first time I posted a question and someone said "Search the archive," I was offended. But I tried it and wow almost everything was there. You could try...
Hi Jeff, First off I agree with Keith, but to get you started place either your direction holes or cut the flute to the key desired but keep it flat so you ...
It sounds like your walls too thick,might try thinning it out gradually,to effect the vollume,the TSH and the bird could be a factor but without seeing it...
Hi Jeff, Premature overblowing can be caused by air leaks in a glued seam or because of a flaw in the wood of the sound chamber. Also, make certain you have a...

Depend of the flute. A thick bore wall can reduce the volume a lot if the flute is long and narrow. It's less noticeable on short ratio (Lenght/diameter)...
JeffG, Many of my flutes have 1/4 thick walls. I have no problem with sound or volume. Whenever, I did it was almost always a leak or a problem with the...

Just my personal impute but the group is formed of world wide members. That would make the exchange be in the same form. I have shipped to another country and...
Terri and Dale, My own experience with thinner walls contributing to greater volume reflects yours as well. I too have noticed that the sound is not as loud...
Hello Everyone, Terri - I am with you, I like a flute that will take some gas! I find this thread very interesting. On all of my flutes I keep the bore...
Very, very interesting Jon, I'll study this seriously. Maybe the volume I gain making thin wall is due to what you say, less wood tickness at the holes, thus...
