Wow, nice. If you try to build reed instruments? Maybe a xaphoon...
I made a few PVC clarinets, the is the blueprint and demo as exclusive patreon content!
@@NicolasBras I have searched again and don't see any reed clarinet, only a membrane "clarinet", I suppose you had built other instruments using maybe a ballon to create the vibration, but don't see any reed. I understand the complexity, making a mouthpiece, a reed and so on, but it will be completely awesome. Moreover, if you don't want to make a mouthpiece, there are the double reed instruments, you can buy the reed and many of them are traditional and plausible to build, they are difficult to play well, but easy to make acceptable sounds. Whatever happens I love your channel and discover lots of instruments, awesome and fun! Congratulations 👏👏👏

[edit] The blueprint is linked in the description. He mentions starting a work in progress chapter in the book. I'm not sure we have access to that or if it got very far
A pvc duduk would be awesome ^^
@@cocodij Wow, extremely awesome
Thank God for the EN of PVC-Pipes. I will build this easily with my students. THX a lot for your inspiring work !
I'd definitely choose the Bee wax, because I always glue my fingers with superglue. xD
Thanks Nicholas, once again your videos are the most accurate and funny/enternaining to watch!!!
yay, another mouthpiece design for my collection!
can't wait to try something like this on the 7cm bass pipes xD
Send me the result!
Forgive me if this has been answered before on this channel, but I was interested as a saxophone player: When building and tuning a new wind instrument, how do you make sure the tuning is definitely a property of the instrument and not embouchure/air from the player? I know the saxophone is different from the flute and (from HIGHLY reputable sources) it is a bit out of tune by nature, but how are tuning properties based on embouchure accounted for when building? Thank you!
I'm interested in this too. I've made about a dozen PVC, side blown flutes with a range of success and failure. I'm not a good flute player. I just try different positions, bending the notes up and down, stepping away, and try later. Then I stop opening the hole when I can consistently blow the correct note in a relaxed embouchure
That's a big thing for flute crafting: you have to know how to play the instrument to tune it!
I started building flutes as a terrible flute player, and I know I have some flutes I made ten years ago wich are totally out of tune with my actual playing technique,
but musicians wich plays a lot of different flutes are very used to correct the pitch of the instrument, sometimes too much, we talked about this with Dramane, I will release this conversation on the channel this week!
@@NicolasBras That makes a lot of sense. Thank you! Love your channel, and will keep an eye out for that video :)
Also helps to play all the notes through the scale as you open up and tune the flute. Same deal with Shakuhachi. But surely with the sax you have the same problem, since you can bend the pitch on them too?
The sax is mainly out-of-tune compared to equal-temperament. In Bb and Eb, the saxophone's native tunings, they are arguably more in-tune than when a guitar or piano plays those same scales.
See, equal-temperament makes the thirds quite a bit sharper (14 cents, if I recall) to enable key transpositions easier. So by some definitions, the piano is always out of tune. Now, that compromise is great for fast key changes and chords on a keyboard without retuning between every song, but isn't anywhere near as necessary on a monophonic wind instrument that's already tuned to a specific key anyway.
Most flutes, ocarinas, etc are just-intonated in C. This plays-along a lot better with pianos than Bb or Eb, because C (and its close relatives) are super common scales in today's music. But flutes also have a Bb extension, which adjusts their tuning to be the same as a soprano or tenor saxophone.
Now, this discussion _is_ made more complicated by the fact you can absolutely still play things in different keys on wind instruments. Transposition exercises are still a big thing in all classical wind training. Some keys are more closely-related than others in just-intonation, so they will sound _less_ out-of-tune, but the only key which will sound perfectly in-tune is a wind instrument's native key. But that's why serious flautists will tend to have multiple flutes in different keys :)
(Though I'm not sure if Nicolas' flutes are justly-intonated - the tuning-app does seem to be in equal-temperament. Also, the drones in the bagpipe video had some equal-temperament type beating between them.)
Would you mind speaking slower and making longer videos? I’d really appreciate both. Otherwise, this is my favorite music channel on UA-cam.
Did you ever make the double reed Greek aulos? I always wanted to make one. That would be a nice video. By the way, I love your videos. There was a time I would turn my nose up at PVC instruments, but I have purchased several now over the past few years and now I am ready to build a few of my own, now that I finally just purchased several PVC tubes. Thank you.
2:35 Un ébavureur ! Merci !
C'était ça que j'avais oublié d'acheter au brico ! (du coup j'ai tout fait à la lime)
Wow I'll try to build one
Thanx so much for Tunable, its been a real reliable tool.
Great!
Can't wait for the concert :D
Perfect music for this beautiful but still sad may month...
Nice tutorial, thanks. Peul flute is one of my favorite flute sound.May I know which flute calculator do you use? I saw a few on the Internet, I tried them, but I could not achieve the desired result, the calculations were false.
Yep, that's why I don't use calculators, I observe traditional instruments, experiment on my prototypes, and then the only calculation I use is a cross product from my prototypes to make new ones
I've been waiting for this!
I still want to send you the plans for the improved pvc shakuhachi, but you never gave me an email!
You can send me this via instagram of facebook!
@@NicolasBras
Great! Will send tomorrow
Absolument captivant !
Salut le grand maestro j'adore ta façon de fabriquer la flûte et j'en ai besoin des flûtes peulhs
Thank You! The tuning of this flute curiously reminds me 3 holed flute, used in Northern Kaukasus. Kaukasian instrument is endblown, sometimes - persian, some others - turkish manner.
Like kamyl (черкесский/адыгейский камыль)?
@@Shaknurat а в Дагестане нет похожих флейт?
@@vadim_adi_novikov думаю, что есть, но названия ни одного не знаю.
Man, it took me a few seconds to notice the wall: Just how many did you make?!
I'm still counting, but I'm quite sure there is more than one thousand flutes in this room!
In India We Are Dealing with a Myth , called Don't play PvC Flute It can Fuck your Vocal cord and throat . Most of teachers are telling students to stay away from PVC Flute. But i start from My DIY PVC flute. I have bamboo flutes which is recommend by everyone . 😅
I have heard that in the US and I am concerned if it is safe long-term?
@@ChrisLeeW00 I don't know for sure, but I do know PVC pipe is used for drinking water. You should probably wear a mask when sanding or drilling it, clean any dust, and you shouldn't melt it. Also different types of pipe used for drainage or wires might use a less safe plastic.
Really, vocal cord and throat? I'm doomed!
Sounds like Jethro Tull is in the Studio cool sound
Great work!
je t'aime merci
Bro, try to review the traditional flute from Indonesia... The Sundanese flute is called...
Salut Nicolas! Premièrement merci pour ce beau travail cest tellement beau de voir ca! J'aimerais seulement savoir exactement combien de centimètres vous avez mis entre chaque trou des trois note en bas a partir du début de la sortie. Merci
We bussing with the btd5 music
Great tutorial. Is the PVC tube 25mm outside diameter?
Yep!
شكرا 💚🤝👑
Can you please do a "Do it yourself PVC" for the legendary Duduk?
I made a few, but I'm not good enough to play it right!
@@NicolasBras I had a suspicion you did! So why not invite over a Duduk player to try your creations, as you did in the clip above, and then release the build info?
Tell us your secrets, Please?! 😍🤩
@@NicolasBras
My dear Nicolas, you will love what Hans Zimmer says here:

"A lot of things were built. There were many journeys to the hardware store. *PVC is your friend. PVC piping. I actually made a subcontra base duduk, by putting this into a very long tube of PVC.* And I literally, I cut the thing to get the different tones."
To coin a British Term, This Guy is absolutely BRILLIANT! I Love his video's. 😅. Plus he's funny with it too. Fabulous content 👌
Im not French, but I do like to say “embouchure”.
I'm from Northern Ireland and I like saying embouchure too. Embouchure, embouchure, embouchure, embouchure, embouchure. That felt good.
Merci !!!!!
Pour la prochaine vidéo : la batterie que vous avez construite dans la dernière vidéo ?
Génial ! j'ai pas le matos pour en fabriqué une malheureusement tu en vend peut être ?
What is the name of the tool with the red handle used at 3:05? I know he says the name but I can't catch exactly what he's saying.
J'ai enfin retrouvé la flûte qu'ils jouent dans kirikou 😂😂
In the US, the closest I can get to 25mm pipe is 1 inch Schedule 40. Will it still work?
Your colleague's game at the end of the video looks more like something Arabic than African. In any case, that's how it seemed to me. Do Arabs have similar flutes?
There's a lot of overlap and cultural diffusion between Africa and Arabian culture. Plus Africa is a huge, culturally diverse continent. Some would even say that Arabian culture is African and vice versa.
@@Sol-Amar, cultural exchange is our everything)
This flute is very specific from West Africa, you can find close ones in Center Africa, but not really in Arabic countries,
but Dramane is a very cosmopolitan musician, with his unique playing style!
@@NicolasBras, then I'm not surprised)
What is the orange handled hole scraping tool called? Is this something I can buy or do I need to make it?
Hey brother bras, do you sell any instruments that you make?
I usually don't!
@@NicolasBras would you consider to sell me a few, could I contact you directly?
Please a bansuri DIY tutorial ( the one you used in presentation )
I don't have card to pay to you to get the blueprint. can I please get a tutorial ?
Nicholas, I am sorry to ask you but I been looking for the tutorial on how to make an aeolian flute. Can you please add the link?
I fell in love with the sound of that flute and I really want to make it, because it seems way more doable than a kaval, but I've never made one before and there's a number of things I don't get. I will certainly f*ck this up but I still want to make sure I proceed carefully, hence why I may ask dumb questions.
Bonjour Nicolas, je voudrais acheter ton livre sur la construction des flûtes en version française. pour pouvoir construire des flutes et notamment des flutes peules en PVC. Peux tu me mentionner un lien me dirigeant sur un site pour l'acheter? merci iko
Hello Nicolas !
Tu les vends?
Pourrais-je avoir des infos s'il te plaît ?
Hello! En message privé sur Instagram !
Hi Nicolas do you know a link where I can buy the same pvc? Thanks
Comment je fais si je veux faire cette flûte accordé en 432 Hz et non en 440 Hz ?
Un saludo ... " E ≠ Ø " ... para filosofar ...
Make a taiko drum
J'aimerai avoir les dimensions en francais svp
When xaphoon?
I made a few PVC clarinets, similar to xaphoon, the blueprint and demo are patreon exclusive content!
@@NicolasBras Cool. Will there be a video on UA-cam?
oo it's like Jethro Tull lol
Have you sold the base of phone numbers of your channel's viewers or are you collecting them for yourself?
I don't get it, where can I get phone numbers? And who still uses phone numbers?
@@NicolasBras when i try to follow your link to download app this happens i.imgur.com/cH235TC.png
did you try this link on a phone or tablet? It's an app, you can't get it on a computer, I think it's just a solution to redirect you to your phone, but try it directly on your phone!
@@NicolasBras From the phone everything is ok. But it's still weird how it works on PC.
@@NicolasBras it is asking the tel number on an iPad youtube app?! Maybe u can check why
En franchais svp
You never cover the math to get the hole placement, is it in your book?
I don't use math, it is more based on traditional instruments observation, but in the book I explain how it works, all the effects of the size and placement of a hole, and why it is too complicated to use math on!
@@NicolasBras Thankyou that's fascinating. I'm more of a guitar guy, sounds like that makes me a little spoiled.
They have curved flutes. Curved. Flutes.

La chance d'avoir un des musiciens les plus géniaux de la planète...la malchance qu'il soit infoutu de partager son art dans sa langue d'origine ( qui est aussi la mienne et la seule que je comprenne...) ça doit être trop nul le français, ou pas vendable... hors de l'anglishe, point de salut...quelle tristesse...
