I do not make or repair flutes - I only play them - and this video was exceptionally interesting to me. I was glued to the monitor for the duration of the video. Would love to see more videos like this (only if it's once a year or so).
Thanks for watching James! Once a year, hahaha! I've got tons of other videos like this! 😁
I don't mind hearing you talk about what you are doing and why this and what happens etc etc. It's how one would learn, especially from one so experienced! I am making my first flute and I appreciate these videos for sure, it helps with ideas. I hope my first flute does well but I am starting fresh with no prior experience and very limited tools. But no matter how bad or good I do on this flute I will learn and I will still cherish it all the same. Half the way I learn best is by watching and listening, the other half is actually doing! Philámayaye! Thank you!
Yeah, this is really well done. Very thorough and thoughtful.
I can't believe what a nice guy Charlie is. he actually called me when I ordered my flute to make sure I was getting what I wanted.
Thank you Charlie,
JOE
Charlie's the man if he can't do it no one can
Chalk up a win for Blue Bear! I find repairing flutes and other instruments to be very rewarding as it allows you to use existing skillsets in a slightly different context, such as you encountered with the flute's holes being laid out in a non-traditional ratio, for example. As always, enjoyed the video, prattle or no, and look forward to the next.

I just made my first North American toubat style wooden flute. And… it works on an A Maj scale! I have made deerbone flutes but watching your videos were a tremendous help to me when learning how to make my first wooden flute. I live in Alberta, Western Canada and so i used Ash wood. Thank you for sharing your skill and wisdom 👍
Thank you for your video. As usual very instructive. Watching you fixing this bad sounding flute, with your comments and thinking, all live in front of us, is a must to ser. But let me tell you something. You are "guilty" of my native american flute addiction now man ! I did my first branch flute following many of your vids, and a second flute for my niece is almost complete. For me, this activiy of both trying to make a flute, and then play it, calm my mind a lot, for that I thank you so much. Merci
You are most welcome for the addiction my friend! 😄 Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Great video so much info. I just made my first few flutes I love it. You are a gem my brother.
Wonderful my friend! Please be sure to share my videos and subscribe!
I know you aren't trying to be funny, but your delivery of "it doesn't really matter" right here, got me laughing. 24:54
Definitely will have to buy your flute making book. I hope it has a section on drone flutes. I burned in the finger holes in my reed drone but it's just lacking something. It doesn't sound right. I may just get more reed and try again😅.
I need to do the same! I was 'this many' old when I found out he has a book!
A wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Charlie! It's really great to watch your videos and to hear you talk about flutes and also your views on life!
Sounds great! You made it sing! You're the MAN Charlie!👍
Nice save there, brother really enjoyed it.
love your shirt! great video!!!

This is humble request to you from me

Thank you my friend! Please check out my other videos: czcams.com/users/bluebearflutes
Great work Dude
You are a patient man! I would have called it kindling, made another.. you did it though ❤️👍Very interesting. Thank you
this is great stuff to watch. Charlie, you are a true artist. its so nice to be shown how things happen in the shop.. I love my small back packer I still play daily .. so funny you made that little comment at how playing 6 hole flutes does something to your brain ....lol. and I just ordered a 5th drone... which technically has 6 holes... LOL. im sure you meant 6 holes per flute which disqualifies the 5th drone which is actually 3 holes on 2 flutes as a drone....right? LOL just kidding no worries.. im looking fwd to you working on my dream flute. thank you for being here.
The six hole drone is only Haram if one of the holes needs to be covered all the time ;)
Thank you, if you can tell me where and at what distance to make the finger holes
That's a great question. That depends on the flute you're trying to make. I have numerous other videos and book that offer that information.
In other words, it is specific to the size material you're using and if you wish to make a flute in a specific key, the material has to match the key. For this reason, I have countless other videos and have put even more schematics in my book.
How do you like your double barrel stove in the background there? I’m thinking of buying one of the kits but I wondered how well it would work I have a 40X60 pole barn shop
You just gotta keep feeding it! More than adequate for that size however!
@@BlueBearFlutes thank you for responding
@kimnichols1169 hey, you bet! They even make some cooking setups for it as well! And thinking about using those myself. 😁
OK
Ok Tom? Ok? What? 😁
@@BlueBearFlutes You have said all that is in the video in your book. A great book at that. 😁😁. All your templates and instructions.

You'll forgive me bro, is this hate mail or a commendation? Are you a real person?
