Reeally gettin into this flute making thing.
Josh:
So far I have made 6 flutes. I got a router and built a jig for it and now it is super easy to get the chambers of both halves carved out... I have been a flute building machine lately. ;D ;D I have given 3 of them away to friends/my dad and loaned one out... these are my 2 that I play every day. The darker one was my 2nd flute and the lighter one with the knot is my 6th...
The darker flute with the duck is in the key of F# and the one with the knot is in the key of G. I am going to post a video of the G. I would really like to trade another flute maker on here a flute so I can compare it to mine so I can see what I need to improve on. These are the only flutes I have ever played so I don't know if they overblow too easy, don't have enough back pressure, etc. etc. If there are any other flute builders on here that would like to trade a flute for a flute, please send me a pm. Or if you see anything obvious that I can improve on in my design, I would appreciate that too. Thanks for looking! :)
Josh:
Here's the G. It is my first time with tuning holes... The others I've made I just sheared off the end to get my low note. I really wanted to save the knot at the end of this one though...
Josh:
Here's a video so you can hear how the G sounds... I really need to quit buildin 'em for awhile and practice playing, LOL. ;D ;D ;D
M-P:
You seem to be doing well, too. The flutes are ovely and that sound clip is great. Ron
Josh:
