Thanks a lot for sharing with us, George ! I bought a CD of Harmonia in Brussels, in 2005. They are very good musicians, not only the Pan flute player. Good...
... Definitely don't play on varnish or urethane...you are right, it grabs the skin. Just sand it off on the top little bit, (to raw wood) then use 800 or 1000...
... Real men don't use lubricants :) Just toughen up. I did once try some talcum powder and at first I was loving it... ziping everywhere as fast as I...
Hi Pascal, Yes, all of them are very good musicians. I have their CD in my car right now, playing it back to back. This type of music is nothing new to me, as...
Kevin: I was going to do what you said (sand down to wood + use oil), but then I got a different idea, and took "0000" steel wool to the poly to remove the...

The steel wool on the poly seems to do the trick for me, and the tubes are hard as glass. But I can see how the almond oil is helpful, especially if you sweat ...
Thank you so much George for your help, your explanation clears up a lot of my ideas. Jose m. ... significant and my experience is that wider diameters produce...
Also, keep in mind that these are only my opinions. Some people like to go wider, some narrower. I found the Doina chart to be very useful though. Also, David...

Kevin, you have mentioned in the past that you have made panflutes out of rolled metal, by also adding bamboo mouth pieces to each tube. 1. How did you roll...
Hi George, ... yes. ... I bought ready-made tubes of brass from a hobby store. ... Yes, I roughened the brass, and added a bamboo segment, about 3/4 of an inch...

Hello Kevin, your explanations confirm all my hypothesis about the inner diameters, this way I will be able to save some hours experimenting with the pipes....
Hallo David! I'm from England originally, but live in New Ross, S.E Ireland. I've made half-a-dozen panpipes in bamboo, and would like to visit you on my...
