Assisi flute in construction, another version

This video is for my friend in France. The original Assisi headjoint has some wood knots, because big pieces boxwood always have some defects, three centuries ago as today ( another example of very low quality boxwood with big knots is the A410 renaissance bass flutes of Verona, but I suppose they had no choice, due to their size ). I have tried to overcome the problem by making the headjoint in three sections, adding reinforcing rings. The original does not have them, but it has got a large crack that starts at the lower rim. All the rest (bore, thickness, tone quality) is the same.

beautiful flute congratulations! do not exist baroque flutes in my country (Brazil), you yourselves manufacture? I tried to construct a baroque flute using pipes of pvc, exactly knowing that the flutes baroque possess conical pipe, but did not obtain why I did not obtain to know the position of the orifices. You would know to adapt orifices for a flute baroca of pvc? thanks a lot. e forgives the errors of orthography is because I do not know to say obliged English!

If you can not make a conical bore, you can not get the right sound. So, do not use pvc and put to work your beautyful brasilian woods. You can approximate a conical bore with a multiple step bore, using spade bits half a millimeter apart from each other. Dimensions are in Galpin Society Journal 1984.

Mio zio suona il flauto dolce, ma comunque è un'estimatore dei flauti in legno!
