howdy folks!
just wondering, is there any way to adjust the volume on a flute before
I glue it up? Also, just how loud are these beauties supposed to be?
I know I get lots of volume when I'm playing a CD, but are they a
relatively quiet instrument? I guess I'm used to the volume of say, a
concert side blown metal flute. I clamped up my first flute here, just
to see what happened and I get a real nice tone, but very little volume
to my thinking. I carved this one by hand, just to say I did, but the
spec's are all from Ki-e-ta's manual and so I think I got everything
where it should be. The only possible "issue" might be that the north
end of the bore and south end of the SAC aren't rounded like they would
be with a router, but are more angular/ramped. I do have all the edges
smoothed over though.
Any thought?
Namaste,
Kev
