    That is an answer to another of my questions.
    How come not very many people will give a thumbs up, not only on your Chanel but on most. It cost nothing and it helps to put the channels you like in front of everyone.
    Thanks Charlie.

      @@BlueBearFlutes thanks Charlie.
      A few weeks ago my Girlfriend was trying to make a flute for her Daughter.
      So I looked up how to make one using just a knife and hacksaw.
      And you was the best pick.
      I honestly don't know much about flutes or the sounds they make but I followed your instructions to the tee.
      But the sound is off.
      My question is. Would it be possible to send it to you and have you tune it ?
      I would definitely pay for it of course but I would like to have your signature burned into it if possible.
      If so send me a email.

    as always a great video, I have your book and have already made very low tone flutes such as low G# with a slightly larger bore than 1inch by using your measurements and sliding them south, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

      Thanks for letting me know you figured that out Philip! That was definitely one of the little "Easter eggs" in my book that I hoped everyone would find. Excellent work on making the low G! That is a feat within itself. Keep up the good work my friend.

      He was a rescue. We literally rescued him from a hardware store parking lot where he was hiding from the rain behind someone's tire! I had envisioned it going terribly so we grabbed the little guy and brought him home (about 4 weeks old at the time).

      I doubt it will go rancid since the wood absorbs it, but if that is a concern you can dilute it with
      lemon juice. Also, walnut oil or cheap olive oil will work. Do NOT use virgin olive oil.

    @forestweston5055 Před 2 lety

    I’m curious as to why you didn’t set your bottom note (overall length of the flute) before you tuned your holes. Wouldn’t your hole tuning be more accurate if your base note (tonic) was set first?

    • @BlueBearFlutes
      @BlueBearFlutes  Před 2 lety +2

      In this video, I'm taking an existing pattern and using it to show how to extrapolate a pattern for a flute to be made of a slightly different size material. In the tuning process, I always tune the bottom note (all holes covered) first. Where I began burning holes at 20:30, I was not actually tuning the flute. That doesn't take place until around 27:30.
