    I made a cheap PVC staff/flute and I found that drilling 2 parallel holes, 1 on either side of the pipe for the air exhaust hole, as opposed to one large hole improved the strength of the staff. Thank you for your inspiration.

    Have you ever seen this done with a solid stick? I've got a walking stick that has an incredible shape, and I think would make an amazing flute. But I haven't seen any methods to hollow out a stick.

    A tip you may want to share, if anyone is worried about cutting round materials, make a V block, this can easily be done on a table saw with the blade set at 45 degrees,
    For those without a tablesaw, you can get 45 degree moulding, glue 2 pieces to a base block.

    Thanks, Charlie, just got my hands on some long-enough bamboo, so starting on my walking stick today (sans drill press, Forstner bit, belt sander, alas!) The nodes are much closer together than your river cane, but I learned some great tips, so forging ahead...thank you!

    Can you put a hard rubber plug on one of these to prevent wear?
    Less than traditional, perhaps, but practical.

    In the future as I learn more to play, as I'm a beginner. I would like a walking stick flute. But would like it to be hard wood. One that I could use to defend myself. I'm getting older (as I'm retired) so if I'm out in the woods and a bear comes around I could "wack-it" and if I'm in the dangerous streets I could ward-off on comers. And I ward them off I could play them a tune to wake up to. Is it possible Charlie?

    • @BlueBearFlutes
      @BlueBearFlutes  2 роки тому +1

      I believe I have a couple of videos on working with bamboo flutes that might help you including making a flute for under $3 out of a tiki torch!! Please check them out in the videos list on my channel. We are currently in the process of making an additional video about that however.

    Hi there, Great video I just salvaged some bamboo from my bosses burn pile and would like to do the same, so sugar cane is different from bamboo? do you have a video making one with bamboo ?

    • @BlueBearFlutes
      @BlueBearFlutes  6 років тому

      Great question! Sugarcane is certainly different from bamboo or river cane. Here's a link to one of my videos making a flute from bamboo. ua-cam.com/video/x3Tz0j7ttbY/v-deo.html

    Within the walking stick flute how many inches long is the actual flute section?

    • @BlueBearFlutes
      @BlueBearFlutes  3 роки тому +1

      Since our walking stick flutes are made in the key of E, the interior of the flute portion would be the size of our E flute. Roughly 22 incnes long.

    Hi Charlie,
    I followed your video with a nice piece of bamboo which seem to be the same dimensions as the piece you worked with and followed the measurements you showed, though I had to convert your inches into mm's and may be out a couple of mm here and there.
    F#
    5. 5 1/2" - 140mm
    4. 6 5/16" - 160mm
    3. 8" - 203mm
    2. 9 1/4" - 235mm
    1. 10 5/16" - 262mm
    Tuning hole - 15 1/2" = 394mm
    Good: It plays a fundamental of F# :)
    Not so good: At 432hz
    All holes covered = f# -15
    4 holes covered = flicking between B flat -45 and A +45
    3 holes covered = C
    2 holes = D-40
    1 covered = E -20
    No holes covered = F# 20
    Any suggestions how I can save this flute, or is my only option to plug and redrill the finger holes?
    Thanks in advance

    Just a quick question. Will you be doing a Quena build? I am have some trouble with forming the V to a good shape, the tuning was hard to find , but I have that now..
    I love the sound of Quenas and making one is another challenge.
    Another fantastic video. No I am not just stroking you, you all are good at these.
