I have a six hole bamboo flute that was started by someone else. I started to clean it up and finish it, but as soon as I got a bird on it, I got to find out...
Joe, I gotta agree with ya. Just for some reason, human nature I guess, I gotta keep searching for the "easier" way.<br><br>And your right, the knuck and eye ...
Lew uses "plugs" in flutes that are drilled out. Therefore a "plug" is needed to separate the chambers. He also uses tuning holes so I'll assume the 27.9527"...
Trial and error, as well as insight and intuition. That's the way I approach making flutes (especially of the NAF variety). And if any of the "scientific mumbo...
"Your flute could extend a mile past the tuning holes and have 6' of compression chamber if that looks balanced to you. It will play the same...just be harder...
SO ive been working on this wooden flute for a while, had some problems, fixed them, and went on. Filled the finger holes back in, and began to redrill them....
powwowboy, I hope you are still here with the rest of these good folks. I am a newbie to this club and have been diligently reading all post from #1. I cannot...
Dusty is apparently too modest to realize the importance of video taping his workshops. It seems a little haphazard to me to leave it to good fortune for...
If I come up with some $$$, I'll look into it, but my ex wife and kids seem to get most of it no matter how much "extra" I make..like some law of physics. I'll...
Yikes...been there. You can always send me a flute that is a problem and let me take a look. It will only cost you to mail it. Sometimes that is the best ...
Let's all not forget what rocket science is: a complex constellation of mathematical formulae to approximate as precisely as possible observations of physical ...
Palm wood acts like rope sometimes but resembles wood anyway. Curing it helps keep the ropey aspect from taking over, making routing difficult. I cure a piece...

No...I hope I didn't say that. If I live 50 miles north of Little Rock then I'm about 1500 miles from home.<br> I live in Annapolis Maryland, the capital of ...
Thanks for the directions -- I'll try that some day!!! Ha. I think Paul Pit at flute maker2 is the one I'm looking for. I replied to a message in my in-box, so...
He writes and sells lots of book's but I aint never seen none of his flutes for sale or on display no where. Tha Smithsonian has some nice examples made by ...
I'm not sure what "hi tec" methods you're talking about. He's used simple mathematics to make charts where you can simply look up hole placement rather than ...
OR...make your own charts by laying flutes in sequential order and interpolating where one is "missing". This works amazingly well if you don't like measuring....
Nothing like someone knowing more and more about less and less. Of course, I'm sure there's more to the situation than meets the eye. Still, you may have cause...
