My Egyptian Flute

- After making a side blown Ney, I felt 2 holes were very strange to the western ear, so I left 6 amazing notes on the flute instead of 8. And what I had was so amazing, I have shared it with my customers for 14 years. My Egyptian flute is available at eriktheflutemaker.com/collect...
Got my egyptian flute in yesterday.. And it transports me.. It feels like the flute is playing me, guiding me. It brings me in such a trance. Thank you for this wonderful instrument, a real piece of art!
This is my 1st side blown flute. It's so easy to get sound, and since Erik made it, the sound couldn't be any more beautiful 😊
Sweet!
I love your videos, Erik! They're so fun and charismatic. My favorite of your flutes is the Deep Forest Flute. I took that to college and when my friends saw they all wanted one!
Keep making people smile!
Just ordered this flute, my first ever flute, and i'm so excited to receive it and learn to play it! I am born in eastern Europe, but I've always felt this attraction deep in my heart to egypt and this music, and finally I decided to stop searching for this music to listen to, it's even hard to find exactly what I like, so instead I decided why not make it myself? Thank you Erik, I can't wait to play it!
You are such a wonderful player and a great salesman! I really enjoy your videos, you are so funny! Thank you and God bless you!
Good morning Erik, I pray the Lord blesses you this day, I received my Egyptian flute, and I absolutely love it, thank you.
You do magic, I wanna do magic too. Just ordered mine😊
I love the scale you created for that flute! It is very "grounding," and has an earthy, heartwarming, meditative, and beautiful sound. I can see why you call it the "Jesus flute." :) Thank you
I love it smmmm❤️🇪🇬
That's the sound of eternity! Bravo!👏
Thank you Erik the Flute Maker I love this Flute sounds so beautiful 👍👌😊🎶

Just bought one now of you man can’t wait to play it I come from Ancient Rome BAALBECK all our music is haunting thanks mate
Nice,where download this one background oriental music at the end of the video please
Hey Erik! I'm a guitarist in the states and I'm looking into wind instruments as to try something new, duduk was my first choice but then I heard the ney which was equally beautiful to me and now I have stumbled across your channel! So my question to you is what key is this specific flute tuned to? And are there multiple tunings to choose from? Because I would like to have a flute to use in creating my own music with, thank you in advance!
HI, the Ney and Duduk are very hard instruments to begin with. I make my Modified Egyptian Flute in D and D# But many are also tuned to themselves. When you order you can ask for a concert tuned one. Regards, Erik
Eric, please help! can't decide between your Egyptian and your Oriental flute..... Could you make a short demo of their sounds side by side, or try to describe their main differences in tone and handling? I have some flute experience, and just basic western music theory understanding, not more. I am starting to learn the frame drum so thats why I am interested in more exotic sounds, like middle eastern rythms and sounds, or oriental, too... TIA!
Hi Christina. The Egyptian Flute like the Oriental have 4 top holes and a thumb hole. The holes on the Oriental a further apart which is comfortable when covered by skipping the middle finger especially on the upper part of the flute.. The Oriental is wider giving a rich tone. That said, the real difference is in the scale. The Egyptian very moving, like an ancient story is being told. Mysterious and enchanting. Very mideastern. I really like both. The Oriental also very meditative with an Asian feel. I own many of both. Picture yourself playing both and get the one that excites you the most for now. Regards, Erik
I wanted to purchase one of these original flutes. But I'm not given the option to ship to Canada. Is it only the US?
Erik ships them all over the world.
Sir price
Hello! I want an Egyptian flute, but what is its scale? What notes does the video flute give?
Hi Andrea: It is inspired from the Egyptian Ney. But I modified or simplified it by pulling out 2 holes as they did not resonate with western harmony. So I call it My Egyptian Flute. My master flutes that I make them from are in D and in D#. I try not to publish my scales because of competition in building them. Kind of like Coco Cola not publishing their recipe. If you get one I will be happy to share the scale with you. Erik
Where can I get one of these???

What the difference between this and Arabic scale?
Also, ist that the original sound or is it altered/ reverb'ed?
Most if not all of my recordings are done with reverb or in places of nice acoustics.
What is the difference between the egyptian and arabian flutes?
Hi Norman: They both have a very Mideastern feel but the notes and scale are different. The Arabian has a pinkie hole, the Egyptian has a thumb hole. Hard to really answer you. Erik
@@ErikTheFlutemakerCom which one is the easiest?
@@rangga1966 Actually for a great and easy to play Mideastern flute is my Arabian penny whistle at eriktheflutemaker.com/collections/carbon-fiber-flutes/products/arabian-penny-whistle
Antient Egypt Flute?
How long does it take to arrive
Hi, we ususally ship the same day we get an order. And 3 days later in the USA you should have it. we do not ship Sat. or Sun. And as you well know 'Times are a changin'. All the best to you, stay safe. Erik
I’ll try my best to stay safe😂
Jesus indeed
Most beautiful flutes, but nearly impossible to play!
Hi Anthony: Impossible if you pucker. A soft grin, press the flute against the lower lip, look in mirror to make sure you are creating a line not a hole. Work only with the mouthpiece before jumping into the holes. Hold flute by the blow hole to get good at making sound. On my website there are articles that help the blowing at eriktheflutemaker.com/pages/questions-for-the-flutemaker#help_blow
You can do this! Erik
Egyptian flute "Nay" is one of the most difficult yet beautiful tradtraditional instruments. It doesn't have a "mouthpiece".
Eric has cheated a bit 🤣 when he used a hole to creat the sound.
In the original Egyptian Flute "Nay" you produce the sound by blowing in a certain angle towards the bevelled edge of the end opening of the bamboo tube. You change tune by covering the holes either completely or partially. You can change the whole octave by changing the speed of air you blow or by partially uncover the back hole. The type of nay that does not have a back hole is called "Kawala"
Hi Fayez You are correct. That is why I mention in the description It is MY Egyptian flute and explain my experience with it. in another description I wrote Inspired by an Egyptian Ney and modified to a much easier side blown flute. This is one of the most powerful exotic flutes I make. In seconds of playing it captivates the heart and rewires the brain. A dramatic flute with 4 holes on top and one in back. Said to be about 5,000 years old. Available at www.eriktheflutemaker.com/Egyp...
