@MrFair Oh, allright :) Makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. I might try to make one of these, and then fail miserably playing it :D

@ronnysoeberg Closing and opening the bottom hole does change the pitch, but this way you'd only get a few different notes, since there's only one hole. Partially covering the hole can be used for vibrato or bending the note. You actually get the different notes by varying the air pressure. This is an overtone flute, so you'll only be able to play the overtone scale of the note the flute is tuned to. Google overtones if you don't know what that means.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ee-Haw! -
Excuse my ignorance, I am not a wind instrument guy, but how do you change pitch when playing this? Is it just like whistling? Or do you cover/open the hole in the bottom or something, like a nose flute?

What happens if the tubing I purchased is rather thick? Will it still produce a sound?

Hí! Nice flute and easy job!
How many centimers should the flute be?

The length of the flute determines the fundamental or key of the instrument. As you get longer you will need to go for larger diameter tubing to maintain the 50:1 ish length:internal diameter ratio. It's easiest to make the flute over-long and then trim to the note desired. Warm the air inside the tube by blowing into it before tuning. HTH - P

Hello!
So if i have inner diam.18mm I chould have the flute 900mm long?
A´m I OK in that comment?

Yes. You are best to make it longer than you need and shorten it to tune the fundamental. The only restriction is in your ability to reach the end of the whistle with your fingers!

I could not reach the end of my F koncovka so I added a 90 degree elbow. And Presto! I can reach the end. I don't think that straightnes is important. A bugle or trumpet is nt straight.

Hi Ric, You are correct, a bend will work as long as it's not terribly sharp nor changes the profile of the tube (i.e. doesn't oval it) I've made kalyukas that are decidedly snake-ish and of course we all know the coiled hose trumpet. To investigate and discover is a great thing :) Great job!
