  • thankyou

  • the distance between the two holes can be what ever you choose it to be as long as the block is at least 1/2 inch wide. I have been using the same size as the diameter of the hole for my block. I am making tubes with a 3/4 diameter. the question that I have is how deep should the wind way be? it seems to reason that the smaller the width the more back pressure will be in the first chamber. the deeper the area then more air will need to be put into the flute. I think 3/32 should be good to start

  • OOOPS 1:24 seconds into the movie disregard the last time mentioned

  • the distance if you listen and imagine can be heard at the time mark 2:45seconds into the demonstration 7.5 millimeters is the optimum distance.

  • Anybody know the dimension between the 2 holes of the windway?
