Super amazing. My daughter had a project in the school. This video really helped me. In fact it was an examination and she passed. She was number one. Thanks alot for posting this video.👏👏👏👌❤️💕
@@jesuscristo2793 I saw that tip when I was researching flutes, but that was 2yrs ago and I can't remember much about it. If you're testing your technique you don't have much to lose, but if you make a good one, I think you might regret not aging the wood.. 🙂
@@jesuscristo2793If the wood dries and shrinks around the block, you may end up with a cracked body. By waiting, you will end up wit ha block that is more likely to fit.
I cut it down and used it right away, but I was advised by a viewer it's better to let it dry. Either way, my flute still works today so I am not sure it makes a huge difference. Maybe try making one both ways and see if there is any difference.
When using things like wood or bamboo to make instruments its best to let it dry. If you use fresh cuttings the material is still bendable, and has the potential to rot if not taken care of properly. When the material does eventually dry out it can constrict on the inner diameter of the instrument causing the tuning to change from when you made it.
I was lucky and knew someone who had it growing on their property, but bamboo grows all over the place, I see it on sides of roads everywhere where I'm from. Besides finding it for free, you can also get it relatively cheap from craft stores or hardware stores in most cases.
It is hard for me to say exactly why yours isn't working properly without seeing it, but the most likely cause that I ran into also is the wooden reed piece that is inserted in the top not being in the right place. It needs to be fitted in a precise way. To avoid moving it around too much, once I got mine in place I glued it in.
The reed is the most difficult part of this. It is very temperamental. It needs to be a cylindrical piece of wood the same diameter as the inside of the bamboo and should be the length from the end of the bamboo to the first notch cut. All you need to change is to flatten a side of it slightly so air can pass through. This flattened side faces up. I am not sure how else I can be of help, so good luck, I hope it works out!
You take out a tuner and some wood carving tools. Take little bits off of the holes until it reaches the desired note. However, be warned that if you take too much off your fingers may not seal it properly. If that occurs you have to start over. If you use the same length take a little more off the end of the flute as this can change the tuning as well.
There are also charts you can look up for the spacing of the holes if you want it tuned easier. The flute he made is not an easy one to tune. Tuning can be a complex process and daunting if your new to instrument making.
Thank you, unfortunately you blew it (pun intended) When you began to drill the holes. There is a whole set of rather complicated mathematically pleasious that must be complicated so that your flute is both in tune with concert pitch as well as being in tune with itself. And you can hear it when you play at the very end. That flute might be fun for a kid to play, but it’s not gonna be in pitch when other people try to play together .
Thanks for the input! I am aware that its not in perfect pitch. The intent of most of my videos is to provide an easy, budget way to make certain projects. The calculations needed to get it in perfect tune are just too complicated for the sake of this channel. Its most definitely not intended for playing concerts. But ill take that into account for future projects!
@@kingskraft2656 No worries, just put up a diagram showing the percentages of the length of the tube that the holes need to be at to be on a diatonic scale.
Basic ways to make the sound. Don’t waste time to teach others on cutting n sawing parts . The main part is the the mouthpiece where u blow n it make sound. The rest is different need more precision to adjust the keys.

Hi my niece has same project what was the notes on speech help
This was super cool!!!
its simplier than I though. I will try to do a small flute necklace that you can wear and play. Thanks
Age the bamboo for 6mths so the wood is brown. Green wood is likely to crack.. :)
Good tip, Thanks!
If i do it raw, can i just let the flute age to brown ? What's the difference

How do you control moisture when drying ?
I found bamboo behind my house I'm gonna make some lol
BROO THATS AMAZING!!!
wonderful video, thanks 👏
thanks bro for this vid i dont have enough money to buy one and kept up the good work
I love it.
Wow this was so helpful, thanks so much! I love this design, it's so elegant and simple, sounds amazing too.
😮 ❤🤗
Very nice and informative! Bamboo instruments are amazing! 🎷❤️🙏
Can't u tune those flutes by moving the block in and out?
is it necessary to dry out the bamboo or can i cut it down and use it right away?

Bamboo is also likely to crack if you don't age it.
How do I do that but it is interesting 👍
Cool thanks.
I see, it's a recorder!
I am wondering where to get bamboo from
I was lucky and knew someone who had it growing on their property, but bamboo grows all over the place, I see it on sides of roads everywhere where I'm from. Besides finding it for free, you can also get it relatively cheap from craft stores or hardware stores in most cases.
@@kingskraft2656 yeah we live in Europe and our neighbors have small bamboo plants
Try Amazon 😂🤗
How come my bamboo cannot sound? I followed all the steps. Can this really sound?

Thank you for your kindly reply.
not real sound using me bamboo flute cannot sound why.??
@@rowenasvlog1406what
Same problem,?
I tried making but I can't make the reed right

Isn’t that a recorder
i did everything but it's not working
It cannot make a sound only air need help????
why my bamboo flute cannot sound🤔🙄
You may have cut the slot to big or wrong way or may have wood part upside down
Uau simplesmente genial 😍
I tried all that, but my flute didn't flute. I would say it's a fluke 🤷♂️😮💨
The scale is totally out of tune, but you surely could make a correct scale with 7 or 6 holes.

Now how to tune it lol

It didn't play when I tried to play ito
Please song name please
Qual é onome desse musica
you only need 6 holes
That’s a recorder not a flute😮
you play flute on the side
Not top
@@BALLERISTHEBEST who cares?

@@kingskraft2656just make a part two or something. nobody wants to play an out of tune instrument

Why did our's didn't work we did everything step by step
I made one, doesnt make a sound
ဘာဝါးနဲ့လုပ်တာလဲ

Quanto e lungo?

No working for me.
It didn't work
I'm sorry to hear that. Most likely something to do with the reed.
This called a Recorder, not Flute, but great regardless.
Did not work
Skill issue
I also
You are using the wrong banbbo, some types have lines every couple inchs, you must use bamboo that is solid all through
@@LiveAndLetLive-LoveIsLove okay thanks
@@OliviaKirkland-n6k did it work?
