HI Keith, We do many beaded items and projects that require leather to be stuck to wood dowels, sticks and such. Contact cement is the best by far that we have...
Osiyo, I have been somewhat of a NAF maker for the last 4 years. I did make some when I was younger using the old "Hunt" Indian Craft book (my grandfather...
I seal the SAC on my flutes anytime after glue-up, depending on the type of wood. I know some people like to do it before glue-up but I'm not steady enough to...
thanks art.... I am finding that I need to seal as soon as the glue dries. I have seams separate during the tuning process. Someone else I know seals before...
Here's a thought: Instead of focusing so much attention on the type of sealer and when to seal it; you might instead direct your energies to the glue joint...
Thanks Greg, I don't fine sand the edges but I do wipe down with denatured alcohol first and use TB III On a couple of them I think I may have short changed...
John, Welcome. This place has a lot of people with a lot of experience and they are willing to share. I have less than a year of experience. I did have several...
I persoanlly prefer to do what sealing I do after glue up but before tuning (I don't try to seal waterproof). I only seal before tuning because I clean up and...
thank you Rocky. Good info. Think I'll cut and paste several of these into a doc for my notebook. Baqash Music produces the kind of pleasure that human nature...
Charles, I'm really not interested in western tuning. I tune the flute to itself. Tuning to a G or an A or so on is so that the flute can be played with other...
Hey John, You said that you use Oklahoma river cane.... Are you from Oklahoma? If so, where? I'm in Bartlesville.... Chris ... and ... a ... made a ... ...
Hi All, How do you key a flute to itself? I only know the Kieta manual way of tuning a flute. Can anyone direct me where to find how to just tune the...
Hi Gary, Maybe this will help - The flute should be the length of you arm. The bore size should be such that you can fit your index finger in it. The splitting...
I thought you might all find the announcement below interesting although it concerns drumming rather than flute. I am sure it would be fine to join in on our ...
Hi, folks, I'm a newbie here, and I don't make flutes (well, once), but I like to read this group since it improves my playing knowledge. I believe Robert...
Hi All, My most recent flute is tuned with a fundamental note of G. I actually tuned it per the Kieta manual with the fundamental note of G# and followed the...
Hi, Friday I received a lot of notices from Yahoo about something being timed out. I'm not sure who received names and who didn't. I am working on my sent...
Hi Everyone, My name is Phil and I have just joined this group. I have recently been listening to Native American Music and have decided that I would like to...

Phil, I would also suggest that you look at the ki-e-ta flute manual that is written by Keith Stanford at www.cherrycows.com It is great for beginner or...
And the choir said AMEN. Both to how it grows on you and expands and takes over AND the Kieta manual. Music produces the kind of pleasure that human nature...
Hello Gary, You can get more volume with greater air flow. But first I would check to see that the cutting edge is truly mid-stream. Also, the width of the TSH...

I've made several flutes successfully, but a new one I'm doing has me stumped. I did everything pretty much the same, cut my channel and TSH the same as usual,...
