worked on improving my latest Tarahumara style Ney today.. sound demo. Playing the pentatnic minor scale (Native American scale) at the end of the video. The flute has 7 holes and is made in tuning of an Arabic Ney. #tarahumarastyle #flutemaking #flute #flutemaker #ney #neywhistle #arundodonax #reedflute #whistle #fipple #reedwhistle https://www.instagram.com/p/B04jxEcnyqP/?igshid=166r80qmw2u1b

What are your most awesome flute experiences? (any kind of flute-like instrument)

I've played flute since I was 14 but really got serious about several years later. I was reading a lot of Bach and etudes and working on my sound while I was working on a cruise ship in 2015.

In 2018 I got another ship contract and there was a show we did every 2 weeks that was all classical excerpts, entirely on flute. I remember being in the first rehearsal and just sight reading the show down. That was the first time I ever felt really comfortable with my flute playing, so I'll remember it for a long time!

I've really fallen in love with alto flute lately, and have been reading a lot of Celtic and Bansuri music on it. I love the sound and it's just been a really restorative and positive experience so far ☺️

I got some bamboo from a friend and recently made my first flute, which was such an amazing experience that I want to do again many times over! I still have so much to learn, especially since I didn't cure the bamboo and my flute shriveled up overnight!! I'm thinking about getting dozens of stalks next time, curing them for a few months, and making whatever I can think of.

testing one of my new flute models after treating with several.layers of my new self made resin lacqeurs. Copal lacqeur with frankincense, sandarak and others. Shellac with sandarac. Walnut oil . Flute is a Sunflower Kawala (rim blown) in tuning of a Ney, with an additional side hole. Painted with earth pigments (ochres) in shellac. #flutemaker #sunflowerflute #kawala #ney #flutemaking #earthpigments #rimblownflute #sunflowerney #resinlacqeur #lacqeur #copallacqeur #shellac #sandarac #copal #frankincense #rohrfloete #sonnenblumenfloete #sonnenblumenney #flute https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KkXx5oXNL/?igshid=14cfmfbwllyhi

First flute sealed with my self made oil and resin lacquer. Painted with Red Ochre and Manganese Black in Shellac. The seali g lacquer was made from walnut oil, ethanol, isopropanol and a mix of resins (copal, dammar, frankincense, mastix, amber). Sunflower Ney with additional side hole sound demo recorded after sunset at a bridge across the Danube. The lacquer worked well on sealing the flute inside and outside. I have to wait a few days until I know if the effect will last, because sunflower is a porous material, and if it is sealed only with oil, the effect is mostly gone after the material has absorbed the oil. That was one of the reasons I wanted to try the oil and resin lacquer, hoping the resins will seal the surface similar to shellac. Copal is much cheaper than shellac, it is made ftom plants, no animals involved, and it smells good. The sound improved immediately, and the lacquer dried fast. #flute #flutemaker #flutemaking #ney #nay #sunflowerflute #sunflowerstalkflute #earthpigments #persianred #ochre #ironpigments #lacquer #oilandresinlacquer #oelharzlack #copallacquer #kopallack #shellac #Schellack #walnutoil https://www.instagram.com/p/B2pUf14IBq-/?igshid=7b4g3yeu71j7
