Doesn't the mouth hole "embocher" have to do with the amount of back pressure the flute has? I know the Slow Air chamber does. I burn my embocher with a round...
There are too few parts of this style flute to discount the importance of any of them. The first part of the flute to receive air is the blow hole, ...
Yes, back pressure can be affected by the size of the blow hole, the length of the blowhole and SAC, and the crossection of the flue. With an open-ended flute,...
Well, if there was no mouth hole, it would be kind of hard to play the flute, but we will let that go for now. Whenever I am making a mouthpiece, I want to...
I am assuming you are not using Titebond 3 because it is somewhat touchier on the heat, at least accoding to some testing that Jim Gilliland has done not too...
Thanks soo much for this post. I have had a problem with flutes separating at the mouth end. I think you just explained why. I was thinking i wasn't using...
... hole ... was ... SAC ... I could be wrong but I don`t think you would hear a noticeable difference in the sound doing this but if anyone tries it I would...
If you drill a hole just _slightly_ smaller than or maybe even the same size as the burning rod you can probably have the best of both worlds. The drill will...

Hey Keith I would say one good reason would be to control back pressure. I know when I blow on a open sac flute it is hard for me to control the air. I guess...
I some times use a brass tube for a mouth piece, so you are blowing into a 5/16" tube about 2.5" long then into a chamber that is 1" to 1 1/4"Â and that is 3"...

It looks great I would put a dark piece of wood on the mouthpiece end to give it a really nice contrast. It looks like it has a metal tube in it now? THe...

YES! I have patents regarding this issue. When air escapes from an oriface, IE: blowhole into slowing chamber, it expands. When air is expanding, if you could...

What is Back-Pressure? Walk with God Marie ... From: "Keith Stanford" <eenncar@...> To: <basic_naf_making@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008...
Morning Keith  More back pressure....... Make your flue more shallow or the sac exit holer smaller. Thats two that I know of I know you have more..... Bob ...
Hi Marie. Back pressure is the amount of pressure it takes to blow or play your flute, If its hard to blow then you have more back pressure if itas easy you...
Actually, I do use Titebond II. In fact, I swear by that glue. It is the best glue I have found for this kind of work. I did try using Gorilla Glue for a...
Question: How can you build a Flute to have more Back-Pressure? The best way to make back pressure is to reduce the height of your flue. Said in another way it...
The only place that should cause or change pack pressure is the flue or more precisely, the flue exit. If any othe place (blow hole, SAC, SAC exit) cause back...
Titebond 2 is a bit more heat tolerant than Titebond 3. TB3 has some other characteristics that are nice, though. I use TB2, myself, when needed, that was...
Remove the bird and blow into the flute as if you were playing the flute. If there is any back pressure at all you need to enlarge the SAC exit and/or...
