Hi there, Can u tell me plz whats the measurments to make a flute in G key? i want to meke a flute by my own but dont know anything aobut the measuremtns plz help me =) hugs - Portugal =)
how long did it take you to learn this instrument. I also bought one and still waiting for it to be delivered at my home. It says it has a 4 weeks delivery time thing.
I am just learning to play the Native American flute, and it is just a wonderful feeling. I have had RA for the last 27 years so it is a bit difficult with my twisted fingers, but when that flute sings, I feel like I am flying! (grin)
Calderoh this is just me but i stole my moms flute and learned how to play on my own. In my eyes you need no notes just play what comes from your heart.
i can do that myself... but it will take some time... the reason i ask that is so i can learn quick because i am in many musical groups. and you know how those are... we all need to be in the same tone and this and that... this is why i asked... so if even you knw, please help
Well sadly i do not know any kinds of notes or things for the flute, if i did i would gladly help you but i only play what i feel i have never even looked at notes or anything like that. Sorry
Well start out very easy with your finger placement, and the just try moving each finger on and off as you move up the flute. If you notice in the video he never moves his finger off the third hole from the top? I do the same thing, for some reason i don't like the sound of that note. And if you keep your air flow steady and drag a finger slowly off one of the holes it makes a sad sound. Just keep in mind you can really only play the flute from bottom to top not top to bottom. =)
Im not saying that the flute "can't" be played from top to bottom haidaboyktn2004, i am only saying that if you try it is normally goes from a loud note to a soft note. Many players will tell you to start at the bottom but you can start wherever you like my friend. I am only saying that top to bottom is too high pitched for me. So i suppose i should have said not "recommended" to play from top to bottom instead of "you can't really" Thank you for bringing that to my attention. =)
If you like native american flute playing you have to check out robert mirabal.He is a performiong artist as well as a class A flute maker who resides in taos pueblo New Mexico...
Mycket bra spelat! Ladda upp fler filmer när du spelar den här flöjten, det är något speciellt med Nordamerikansk inidanmusik! Jag känner mig avkopplad och glömmer för en stund bort vardagen.
dont listen to these others crap, it sounds perfect. i have been playing naf for years and your coming along fine. i have been trying to learn how to play like goldenhawk wilson from. nc. have heard him play many times and when i heard this i thought i was hearing some of his older stuff..
What key is your flute? I have one and I am Indian and I still can't play it. I would like to be able to play like Mary Youngblood. I like your flute playing....don't care what anyone says. There are lots of critics out there. Usually they don't try.
Well, I liked it. But I can see what other people are complaining about. It's good advice to use a better recording program, and maybe record in a better acoustical environment next time. Keep it up!
dude keep playing waki chapi celebrate the imperfect the people who say you suck well they suck at least youre playing advise ; get a better recording program
wow...there are alot of really angry people posting comments about ur video!...i didnt think it was that bad. course, i dont play the flute, but to an untudored of ear of someone who just likes music, i thought it was pretty! 8-)
I'm not commenting on the commercialization of the flute...I really could care less...all I'm saying is this guy stinks...sure, he's musical, but that doesn't make him a great native american flute player...pooh-pooh!
great job who cares what anyone says people find faults even when you give them a million dollars no on person can make everyone happy at any given moment at anytime
Not bad at all, enjoyed it! I own a pair of flutes so far from a local craftsman, who is not Native American, but the flutes sound beautiful none the less, and he puts a lot of love into making them. I admit that the debate about cultural heritage is a thorny one, but, I do enjoy playing. If Jaycree74 knew what I was doing with my flutes, he'd probably have an conniption, but they make excellent source for analog sequencers as well as standard playing. :)
I recognize the flute he's using...I bet a million dollars that his flute is engraved with "JT Navajo" I met that particular flute maker, Jonah Thompson, at ASU pow-wow a couple of years ago...his flutes are everywhere. Affordable too. So guys like this clown can get them and play tunes and broadcast them to potentially millions of people out there and show them how bad they suck...hahaha
LOL. the video said it was like one of his first attempts? It takes REAL NDN flute artists years to be good,non Natives don't have a clue there is a whole OTHER rythm kept for flute music,differnt scales,but these commercial flute makers make scales that are westernized. Like the music but don't use it as a means to spiritualize yourself or find ur roots.. I looked at my feet, I don't see no roots a ingrown toenail but no roots! anyway, he did say he was like new at it.
Another fine example of commercialization of Native American culture and misappropiation of that culture into some ideal.I hope when you bought it at least it said made by an authentic Native AND the person selling it could PROVE that... otherwise if they said real Native or Authentic Native and can't prove it, they are violating federal law... I know Native flute makers need to make cash to pay the bills too...
I don't think Native flutes can just be bought at a market. You would have to order one from someone who makes them, and they're much more beautiful, no offense, but thats how we got ours.
Of course you can by a real nativa american flut at a market! You can by it from the native flute maker himself...Pretty common in the southwest I belive...
Wow! Really nice! Thank you for sharing this :)

I'm amazed at some of the responces.
This guy play this flute amongst a number of other instruments. Yet some bash him.
Is it because he is white? European? Because he plays the native flute?
The guy can play...if you think he could play this better just leave THAT comment, not "he suck", and maybe he'd learn more.
