So happy to finally be able to share what @honoreel_atplay and ourselves have been working on with Phil Bleazey Woodwinds. If you have an interest in engineering, woodwind instruments and how things are made this video is for you!
Phil has taken this craft to another level, his flutes are world renowned and his methods are well guarded. Beginning his working life as an engineer with Shell Oil he has worked across many industries gathering a wealth of experience. After years of creating these beautiful instruments he is now offering courses through his website where participants can learn first hand.
If you are interested in creating something similar or have a vision you would like to discuss for your business please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Phil made my low D whistle many years ago. It remains my very favourite musical instrument with a gorgeous tone.
Great video Phil. Very interesting
Making instruments using engineering tools and techniques, I love it!
Thank you for such a generous video sharing your techniques. Wonderful to watch and very helpful.
Wonderful video!
I love the explainations, the image quality, the sound... Everything!
Thank you very much!!

Met phill a few year back great bloke fantastic instruments
I have to say that you are a bloody clever guy Phil Bleazey. And I have to admit that this was one of the most interesting and pleasurable videos I have watched. I was glued to the screen (with epoxy of course). I love a guy who has a great inventive brain and uses his hands to create beautiful things. Perfect combination. Right accent too. Well.....at least I have left and right chisels so now all I have to do is fork out a few thousand bucks for some equipment and I can make myself a whistle. At least that was the idea of watching this video. But now I realize that I should just give up and buy a Bleazey whistle. Much cheaper and far less frustration and bad language. And at 84 I might not get to finish it anyway..ha. So...keep up the great work Phil. I'll be keeping an eye or two on you. Eye eye.
What a fun video. Learned some great stuff, but love to watch craftsmen do their magic
Great video Phil thanks! Very generous sharing of your working techniques, and moody lighting too!
Great Flutemaker! Great Flutes!
Beautiful! ❤
Great work
thank you... nice done.. and some good advices !
Thank you.
Excellent work, thanks
great video if it wasn't so dark and you did a little close up and see what you are doing 🙋🙈🤔🤔🤔🕵️🕵️🕵️
nice wood lathe
Hi Phil, being busy making a pvc flute I am baffled to see that in order to raise the pitch of the B note you are enlarging the hole on the bottom side. I'd guess that to raise the pitch you'd move the hole upwards toward the mouthpiece
My guess is that there were perhaps more wood to remove on the bottom side. Or maybe doing it on the headjoint side would have been too high pitched ?
It has to do with adjusting the octaves, wooden instruments have a wall of at least a couple of mm, which allows "undercutting" (so you can retouch the upper octave without moving the 1st too much, in range of more or less 10-20 cents)
With very thin walls -such as pvc or a metal flute- the drilling must be precise, because you have no margin to "undercut" the hole in a specific direction.
In this example, if he had cut straight on the top side _making the whole hole bigger_ the first low B note (1st octave) would be sharp. Just undercuting on the low side _ without making the hole much bigger - the B note of the 2nd octave goes sharp (like 15-20 cents in this example) But the air pressure has a big impact on accurate intonation, it's part of the technique of the instrument (like in recorders, modern traverse, etc)
