How does the diameter of the flut relate to the pitch? Could you lets say build a real long thin or a real short thick instrument? And still have the same distance between the holes as if it had regular proportions? -do the holes have to be same size or could you, lets say, make the ringfinger hole smaller -and one last thing: do the holes have to be in one line or could you fit the holes 'around' the tube to achieve a different frame for the hand? This was hands down the best explanation i could find on the tube. Thank you!
I can answer a few of these questions. The hole size does affect pitch and tone. Smaller holes require longer end correction and thus produce a lower pitch for the same length of tube (up to the first hole). The longer end correction allows cross fingerings to have a greater effect on the pitch. Flutes of the classical era had few keys, but could still play chromatic scales using cross fingerings. Modern concert flutes have very large holes, which allows them to play with a much louder and clearer sound, and can play chromatically due to the advanced keywork. The position of the holes around the tube does not matter at all. As long as they are the same distance from the head of the flute, you'll get the exact same sound and pitch.

Well explained 👌 But i am a little confused can u explain why the frequency of sa is less than the frequencies of ni ,dha and pa according to u it should be greater. Since we hold the length of sa less than the all three ,the frequency should be greater. Please explain.
Hi I’m struggling with the same question…but actually i think ni dha pa should be played with a stronger whistle wich somehow maybe change the wave for a higher pitch…?
@NAYL I understand u are talking about the mandra saptak and madhya saptak 'pa' but on internet i got the values of the frequencies little confusing to me such as: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Mandra Saptak: 120 Hz, 135 Hz, 144 Hz, 160 Hz, 180 Hz, 202.5 Hz, 216 Hz.} Madhya Saptak: 240 Hz, 270 Hz, 288 Hz, 320 Hz, 360 Hz, 405 Hz, 432 Hz.} Taar Saptak: 480 Hz, 540 Hz, 576 Hz, 640 Hz, 720 Hz, 810 Hz, 864 Hz.} In this we can see that when playing in same octave(saptak) the frequency increases from ma to pa. But thanks for replying😇 Also we can play 'pa' in two ways :- 1: by covering all 6 holes and blowing with high pressure and 2 :- by leaving first hole open and covering all holes In both ways the frequency is same but according to this explaination it should change.
when you close all the 6 holes, you play "lower octave" Pa, 5 holes - Dha, 4 holes - Ni, 3 holes - Sa. , 2 holes middle octave Ri, 1 hole-Ga, 0.5 holes - Sudha Madhyam, 0 holes - Teevra Madhuyam.. In the same sequence ,you can play higher octave respectively when you blow hard.. That's why in flute, you cannot play lower octave Ri, and Ga.. That is flute's limitation...
@HBR2K thanks but my query was about the frequency of sa is less than pa dha and ni Which according to the video should be greater since we play sa by closing 3 holes and pa by closing all 6 holes then the wavlength of wave of sa should be smaller than the wavelength of pa and hence the frequency of sa should be greater than frequency of pa but in reality the frequency of sa is less than frequency of pa
Please xdescribe about the proper whole position identifying method with respect of whole pipe length , diameter and wall thicknrss. What physics, equation or science works behind it?

I don't know why this video doesn't have half a million views

Good explanation!
Thank you for your Flute lesson sir and I also flute learner
This is amazing Shivaram and Mervin 👏
Lovely explanation
Bro explained it well
Great explanation 🔥🔥🔥💖
Informative
Precise, to the point ❤
Great ❤❤
Very good
Wonderful shivaram 👌
In an open tube both ends will have antinodes when standing waves are formed. Please note the mistake.
But hindustani flute is one end closed pipe
Well explained 👌
But i am a little confused can u explain why the frequency of sa is less than the frequencies of ni ,dha and pa according to u it should be greater.
Since we hold the length of sa less than the all three ,the frequency should be greater.

@@Lucifer_The_Devill there is octave difference
Amazing
