Made a flute
    #7498249 - 10/08/07 04:26 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

After uninstalling WoW I have been trying to be more constructive and in doing so I have started to make instruments, flutes being my first.

My first go at it I used the pole of a gourd, the masking tape is to cover up a failed mouthhole :smile:



The second is a bamboo flute that works very nicely.  Has a nice crisp sound to it.

Did a bit of research on the net, and then just made a ton of mistakes.

I have an unlimited supply of gourds.

My first one took 6 hours of messing around with hole locations and sizes.

Sweet, man.

I have been messing with ideas for making instruments in my head lately.

First I'm gonna learn some wood carvin' abilities, and see where I can go from there...

I'm not really a flute guy... :laugh: Thanks for the offer, though.

I've got a pan flute and a native american flute already... I can't play the pan flute worth a damn.

I might consider making another native american flute, but the design is a bit different... it's more like a recorder... you blow into the end instead of having to blow across an opening on the side like a traditional flute... (that's the part I suck at...)

Head of a shakuhachi?  Its a Japanese end blown bamboo flute. They're hard as FUCK to play.  It took me a good 3 months before I could play all the notes and not be on the verge of blacking out.  It's now one of of my favorite instruments, its so warm sounding...  I bring it everywhere I go. :grin:

Can you record yourself playing some of your flutes?  That's great you picked up that hobby.

where did you find this info?
i've been playing around with my bamboo flute for several months, but i'd like to make my own.
do you mean that you hung gourds so they would grow straight and long, and used the top part?

Someone in town grows them, my friends mom has about a hundred of them at her dispense.

Most have elongated tops like that.

I once saw a guy make a flute from a poplar branch. He tapped and tapped it all around until the bark slid off like a stiff rubber...then he cut it to make the flute...slipped the bark back on.

it was pretty cool.

Nice flute btw
