- Sometimes people may obtain a flute that is not quite in tune or doesn't play. Don't let it discourage you from making the flute play the way you want it to. In this video we will re-tune an out of tune 6 hole flute and make it into a beautiful sounding 5 Hole flute in the key f A. Visit us on the web at www.bluebearflutes.com
You're basically the Bob Ross of flute making. You have a really relaxing voice.
This video covers a lot of important steps and tips on Tuning a Flute EXCELLENT VIDEO.
Actually unless I know the maker , I never buy , or trade for a Flute unless I can play it first . Some people buy them because they look pretty . I've played your flutes , I know you make a beautiful playing Flute .
I'd like to thank you for making these videos. Being able to learn the skills to make my own flute from local materials has been a really enriching learning experience which may not have happened without you. Thank you for not being greedy. Although the price of one flute is set being able to learn a new skill is priceless. Thank you.
Wow! It went from itching powder on my eardrums, to a songbird next to a stream. That's a lot of knowledge. Thank you.
THIS is the ONE I needed to see. You done good! God bless you well.
I read an old document about flute making and it said that the flutes used to be made to the measurements of the makers body. the distance from the sound hole to the first fingering was the width of the fist, as was the distance from the end of the flute to the last fingering. the fingerings were one thumbs width apart and the whole flute with the mouthpiece was the distance from the tip off the middle finger to the armpit, or the length of the forearm depending on the material used.
Hi, Tony. I just retuned a bamboo flute I made a while ago using the tips in this video and I'm pleased to report that the flute sounds wonderful. The piece of bamboo I used was floating in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the main island of Hawaii a few years back and after much drying and waiting, I was able to work on it and made the 5 hole flute in the key of low Eminor. Thanks for all your work and the sharing of your knowledge which fits my philosophy of Native American Flute making as I started out making flutes and pan flutes from the Andes mountains (I'm originally from Chile, by the way). Keep up the good work and peace always.
Absolutely awesome. Excellent. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Charlie, tuning a flute is more complex than I thought, Thank you for sharing...I do need to make more time to see and practice what you are teaching
Great video Charlie, I really learned alot. Thanks
You are a master flute maker, thanks for your videos.
His videos have helped me a lot, be sure to post your news channel is very good. I'm sure like me here in Brazil by many people around the world are learning from their videos.
Fantastic, Thanks so much for this and all your videos. I have a flute very similar to the one you are working on. Mine was thank goodness in better shape. I am a Energy healer and medical intuitive. I have tuned it perfectly with your help and use it in my meditations and practice. I plan to build a bird flute soon in an original ancient style. Thanks for the very helpful knowledge.
Very cool video. A master at work!
Thank you so much for your great Tips and instructions...it helps me a lot - i love the transparence in the way what you showing :-D
Well that kinda looked real Technical. You had your work cut out there Charlie. But sound a hell of a lot better now. 👍
Thanks for the highly informative video, it answered a lot of questions I had as a newbie! My experienced sister sent it to me. I'm sure it saved her from a lot of breath she'd rather use to play her own drones, then have to answer a million questions! lol!
Great job
AWESOME THANKS SO MUCH
