Going through some of my collection of world flutes. (I made a similar video a few months ago but replaced it with this, as I've been practicing more since then.)

(I said "side-blown" several times in this video when I meant "rim-blown".)

    Nice collection! There are many kind of Flutes.

    Quena wasn't with in this :(

    I play Quena :D

  • @AleksiQV Hi thanks! I made this a long time ago. I now have a quena :) It is stained marroon and has bone surrounding the holes and a bone mouthpiece. I like the instrument a lot! How long have you played it?

  • Nice collection, it looks like your Bulgarian instruments were made by Victor Terziyski, I have one of his kavals and I love it. Tough instrument, I'm going to play it on a gig for the first time tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'm more of a shakuhachi and didgeridoo guy but I have a pretty nice assortment too. Always room for more! Hopefully I'll get some more video clips to add to my channel at tomorrow's job with Tribal Waves.

  • @jazorf I hope your gig went very well! I've ordered 5 flutes from Victor and they're all great. Your channel looks great; I'm going to subscribe now. :)

  • Beautifull collection ! I am also fascinated by world wind instruments, this morning i got my turkish kaval made of mullbery.

    I also made my own plastic kavals wich sound astonishing same as those made by professional craftsmens lol.

    I made a bulgarian kaval (trite puti), machedonian kaval and even a persian ney( but at the persian ney i have to practice).

    I like very much that instrument from south-east Asia.

    Best wishes from Romania

  • @DRAGOVODA Thanks so much! I love world flutes, especially those from your region of the world. That's impressive that you can build your own side-blown flutes. Maybe someday I'll learn to do that!

see all

    I have played it like 2 months or something like that. It's not hard at all. You just have to get it sound good. Afterwards is it really easy :p

  • well, they sounded legit! :)

  • hehe--sorry to disappoint, but I was doodling; there may have been something subconscious going on with what I've heard of the different flutes' cultures, though--I can't say that for sure or not. :)

  • cool! great collection!

    just wondering...do the tunes you played correspond to each instrument and where it came from, or where you just sort of doodling?
