    I can't really understand why people would say you talk too much. How informative the videos are is now unnecessarily reduced. We invented a mute button for a reason so there doesn't seem any probable cause to even mention such a silly comment. As someone who just started learning about flutemaking listening to your monologe has helped me progress so much faster than purely watching.

    Always be YOU!
    If we don’t watch it people will have us living our lives the way they intend us to live. And being the best version of them we can be.
    You are a completely genuine artist in every sense of the word, intuitively guided and never need to explain how you blossom.
    There are other UA-cam videos they can watch since you and your videos are not good enough for them.
    Never be hushed!
    BLOOM !

    This was a great video. I really enjoyed the flute background music and the measurements you showed us along the way. It was nice to sit and relax on lunch after a rough morning at work. I made my first couple of bamboo flutes and I am having a lot of fun making and playing them. Your book and videos are outstanding. I can't wait to receive my flutes that I ordered, it is always nice having original work from someone you look up to and learn a lot from. Keep up the great work! :)

    As a wood worker, that doesn't look too difficult. I've made a cigar box ukulele, cigar box bass and a cigar box 3 string guitar. They turned out great. I really have gotten to like the sounds of this instrument so time to give a go at making some. I'll subscribe and pop in quite often as you look like you know your way around this craft.

    master Congratulations on your videos.
    One key question.
    From the video you don't see an important step for those who want to build
    From the side where you blow it should not be drilled until you open the chambers?????lei when he closes the flute he closes it without drilling the two chambers...then once closed he does not drill them....but how does air pass through???
