The most difficult flute techniques in one hybrid flute.

I practise bulgarian kaval/turkish ney, didjeridoo/trumphet, persian ney and shakuhachi techniques on a pvc D kaval.
This is one of the most economic but more versatile and wonderfully sounding homemade musical instruments you can ever make.

How does the rim, the blowing edge of the flute, looks like? Is it a regular kaval rim, or it has special features for playing the shakuhachi style?

I am asking after trying all these techniques on my PVC ney - after several attempts I figured that I can make a sound using persian ney technique (inserting the flute between teeth), however the shakuhachi sound that I was able to get was extremely poor and weak. I am wondering whether this is a limitation of my technique.

@a5urbanipa1: Yes, you could do it on every rim blown flute. In this case the rim is a regular persian ney one... With it it's very more difficult than with the shakuhachi one, you just need practise.

To make it go on google and type: "make bulgarian kaval". The sound you speak about is the persian ney technique, famous to be the most difficult flute technique at all. I could explain it to you but there's someone that did it better than me. Search the youtube user "persianney". His name is Kees van den Doel, he is a good canadian player... He posted some useful video lessons. :-)

WOW!

Any chance you could share how you made it, and discuss how you were obtaining that sound when the pipe was verticle across your lips/teeth (0:33 - 0:58).

Buzzing through it didge style almost sounded like a duduk, or clarinet. :)
