I believe you just don't put in the 4th hole, but the hole spacing is the same as if the 4th hole were there (lay out hole pattern as you would for 6 holes...
rocky, when you say the #4 hole are you talking from the south end or the north end. Music produces the kind of pleasure that human nature cannot do without. ...

Good morning, Rick Heller makes the 5 hole flute and he leaves the 4 th hole blank with normal 6 hole spacing. Well it looks that way. I am going to buy that...

Some folks do skip the #3 hole instead of the #4, tried a flute like that once and didn't care for it, just my opinion. I suggest you go ahead and make a six...

Good post Gary, Got me thinking way back before I had a computer and any info telling me it couldn't be done I had made some D's with a 7/8ths bit. Had a...
