Re: [basic_naf_making] flute volume

Hey Kev.
What size is your bore? There are two ways thai I know
of that will increase your volume one is to have a
thin wall on your bore the other is to widen your flue
thats why I ask what size your bore is If you are
going by the Ki-E-Ta manual then you should have ever
thing right he has the best book out there that I have
saw anyway.
I use it all the time and all my flutes have been just
great. There may be some other ways to increase the
volume but this is the only two that I know I just bet
some one else will know more about this than I do.
Take care.
Bob Runningbear

Hey Bob, I started with a 3/4 bore and so the flue is 3/8. After bore sanding, it's running closer to 7/8. But I got tone on this gem before bore sanding. I...

Hi Kevin, I agree with what everyone has told you but don¹t try tuning until you get the flute glued and shaped. That can change a lot including how loud it...

I had the same problem with one of my early attempts. I found that widening the TSH slightly also raises the volume. This, however, is a double-edged sword...

Hey Kev, The width of the TSH and depth of flue do the trick most of the time. My flutes are loud. What is loud to me? When I can play them in a small room and...
