An intelligent discussion of vibrato and this writer's opinion that it is overused in classical music today. How does this relate to the music we play on...
Hi Brad... For me it is an effect to be used as and where appropriate. Always hand vibrato on Panflute....occasional diaphragm vibrato on the Double Bass ...
I don't think it is overused, rather, it is misused. Proper use may be varying the speed of vibrato depending on the "style and emotion" of the piece, as...

Hello. Brad. You have recently mentioned the two main types of vibrato; mainly the hand and diaphram. However, another type is possible, that of using the...
... Hi Robert.. you are right.. it's good to know these things because there might be the perfect place to do something different in a piece. Thanks for the...
Hello Everybody Proudly I present to you today my new book for Panpipe-Beginners. Ten really easy tunes for panpipe, together with a CD played and arranged by...
Congratulations, Ulli ! I simply love those tunes and your arrangement. Very good sound quality of your panflute. Greatings from Belgium, Pascal Ruzette ... ...
Hello all, One of the beauties of making your own Panflutes is that you can tailor the design precisely to your requirements. We know that the curve of the...
This reminds me of the Constantin Popescu 28-tube concert panflute I had once which had a relatively strong curve (as Kevin Budd noted). This also seemed to be...
... In addition to concentrating on the fact that the tubes at the lips are the fulcrum as one does the vibrato (so that the tubes do not loose their place) to...
... Interesting Dave. A lovely instrument you have made! Can you share any of this magic? I do notice you have angled the sides of the top edge. When I have...
Hi Kevin... Many thanks for the compliments and your (as ever) accurate observations. Yes....I have chamfered the sides of the tube tops interior...by a ...

Hi Erik... Yes...this is possible.....for example, on Steffen Kuettner's fantastic Panflutes, the curve of the Tenor and Bass panflutes is visibly much ...
... That's interesting Dave.. exactly the opposite for me.. a strong curve is really tough for my body. It really is a matter of preference isn't it? ... brad...
On the subject of holding the nai of a contrabass type, for example, you are quite right it is difficult to hold this instrument the same way one would for a...
Hello David, I've seen the pictures of your new custom panflute, it's a wonderful instrument. Congratulations. You varnished the "foot" part of it, don't you ?...
Hi Pascal and thank you so much for that..... Yes, I varnished the base but not the tubes. The tubes are coated with oil and liquid beeswax and polished to a...
Hi Brad..... Yes absolutely a matter of preference...within certain boundaries I guess....straight wouldn't really work well, neither would so curved that the...
... I believe that the air pressure buildup caused by the far side flat edge is somewhat relieved by the chamfering, a gentle widening of the side of the tube...

HI, I would love to hear from anyone who plays Meditation about what key you play it in, the tempo and how you handled the sometime necessary octave...
