First small bore flute   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4405 of 10248 |
Hey guys, just checking in. It's been a busy few weeks for me, so I
haven't had time to do much flute work - at least until tonight.

I had roughed in the body of a small bore about three weeks ago.
Tonight I cut the TSH and airway, stuck a bird with a chimney on it
(my preference for airways) and then checked the tuning.

As it was within a few cents of an A, I went ahead and went for it. I
now have a very sweet little A flute with one of my stylized cardinals
on top. I haven't sealed it or put the finish on it yet, but this one
is going in my personal collection - so far I just love playing it,
even unfinished.

Hopefully, I'll have it all finished out for our next flute circle
meeting on Monday evening so I can show it off!

BTW, Windsongs NAF Circle will be meeting on Monday, April 3 at 7:30
PM at Hopewell United Methodist Church in Level, Maryland. Level is
near Havre de Grace MD, just off I-95. Everyone is welcome, whether
you play or not.

Howdy Redbird, A couple of questions for you: (1) You mentioned that your flute had a 'small bore'. How small? (I have been in discussion about a 1/2" Bore...

It is a 3/4" bore, split-routered. For me, that's a small bore (at least so far) but realizing that 1/2" and 5/8" are smaller yet, I guess you could actually...

Hi Redbird, I think you are miss-understanding the term chimney. What you are describing here is a flue in the bird instead of a flue in the flute. The chimney...

Indeed, I am misusing the term. Thanks for getting me straight on this; with all my little faux paus in the past few days, I think I'm pretty much brain-fried....
