SMALL BORE DIAMETER Flute - questions.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4412 of 10248 |
Howdy folks,

Some of us have been discussing making Small Bore Diameter flutes. (1/2
inch)

If we use the 18:1 (Bore Length to Bore Diameter) ratio, that would
give us a Bore Length of 9 inches.

Using the "knuckle method" of finger-hole placement and placing the
Finger-holes 1 inch apart would result in the #6 top (North) finger-
hole being about 1-1/2 inch from the TSH.

Will having that finger-hole that close to the TSH cause any problems?

Perect Dale, THANX! I'd also like to get your thoughts (and anyone else's) on the Finger- hole diameters. On your flute, they are 5/16" and smaller. If we...

You're welcome Keith, and I have an update on that flute. After pulling that flute down to get the measurements, I hadn't played it in quite a while, I decided...

Hi Larry, Thanks for the comments. I use about 30 degrees. I haven't measured the angle, but that's about what it looks like. I could never get the 45 degree...

Hi Dale, I have used 30 degree angle and it also makes a great sounding flute, and I too have not had much luck with the 45 degree angle. To me the, closer to ...

I just hunted up a few small bore flutes I made not long after I first began having success with the sounding mechanisms. I found a few flutes made from 1/4"...

Please keep in mind that I am new at flute making, but if you sand down the nest of the flute, I think that will make your flu smaller. Walk with God Marie ......
