How to make a Native American Style PVC flute key of G!
Here are some tools and material you may need
3/4 inch PVC pipe - amzn.to/2zdlXlt
Drill Bit Set - amzn.to/2BblbXH
Key Hole file set - amzn.to/2zegGKo
Its a really low cost and really rewarding build! you will need a piece of 3/4 inch (19 mm) schedule 40 PVC pipe at least 19 inches long! Its better to make it long so when you tune it you wont start out below the key you want. You will need a cork from a wine bottle, they work really well for this size pipe. You will also need a needle fine set and a flat file.
The first step is to make a center mark on you pipe so all your holes will line up. The easiest way to accomplish this is to take a piece of wood at least the length of your pipe and but your pipe up against it, then simply take a pen or a marker and run it along the top of your piece of wood, as shown in the video.
Now you will need to make a line from one end of the pipe the first line is 1 7/8 inch (48mm) from the end and the second is at 3 1/2 inches (89mm). Then you will use your flat file to file the pipe between those two marks, until the flat part is about 7/16 inch (11mm) wide, This is the part of the flute that will generate the sound.
Now you will need to mark a line where your holes will go at 2 1/4 inches (57mm) and at 3 inches (76mm). Now drill a 3/16 inch (5mm) hole in the spots you just marked. Next you will need to draw out the actual hole size you need which is a square, 3/16 inch (5mm) by 3/8 inches (10mm), This is where you will need the needle files set. The first hole that you filed out is where the air will be blowing out of and the second is the hole that the air will be forced to blow back into, this is where the noise is made. Next you will need to file down the front of the second hole you filed out, you will need to file it down at a 45 degree angle as shown in the video.
Next you will need to get a measurement between the two holes you filed out, it should be around 1/2 inch (12.5mm) Now you will need to cut the wine bottle cork down to this size and push it inside the pipe until it is between the two holes, as shown in the video.
Now you will need to make your bird, this is the part that will force the air coming up from the first hole to go into the second hole that you beveled at a 45 degree angle. I simply took a piece of 1 inch (25mm) pipe and cut it to 1 1/2 inches (38mm) long, Then I took a hand saw and cut one side of the pipe length wise as shown in the video, then all you do is slid it over the end of the pipe you have been working on and adjust it until you get the low tone you are looking for, you wont need to blow very hard at all for this flute to work, in fact if you blow too hard it wont make the low pitch and you wont get it tuned right.
The next step is to tune it, you will need a tuner of course, you can download one on your phone like I did to make it easier. Now to tune a flute you will be cutting off the opposite end you have been working on, you will only want to do about 1/8 inch (3mm) or less at a time because a little goes a long way when tuning. Something to keep in mind is the shorter the pipe the higher the tone, If you go too far you will have to start all over and make another flute, or you could simply extend the flute with a PVC coupling, I haven't tried this so I cant guarantee it will work, but its worth a shot. Once you are getting close to the desired note, you will need to finish it up with your flat file so that you don't take too much off.
Now to find the finger holes I used a website I showed you in the video and Ill put the link up for you right here
www.flutopedia....
All you need to put into this is the size pipe you are using and the key you are tuning your flute to. I show more about this in the video. You can adjust the holes sizes like I did to make it a specific drill bit size like I did. I made all my holes 5/16 inches (8mm). The chart will tell you where to put your finger holes measuring from the end you cut down to tune it. The measurements I had were as follows 4 1/16in (103mm), 5 7/16in (138mm), 6 13/16in (173mm), 7 5/8in (193mm), 8 3/4in (222mm), and 9 5/8in (244mm)

That was a great sounding flute you manufactured have a question what's the app you used to tune ur flute and is it in the GOGGLE play store?
@@nufsed7580 I honestly dont remember the name of the app, it was on an old phone that I no longer have, but it was on the google playstore. I am sure you can find something similar.
@@BuildStuffwithAJ that's cool, I downloaded one form goggle app's and the needle is all over the place I need to try out a few
hey friend you are really handsome.
You are a good teacher. I've watched over a dozen videos on this subject and yours was the easiest to follow and understand. Thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad I could help!
I like his no-nonsense approach. Other instructors cloud their instructions with New Age hippie crap in a sissy voice and things are not that clear. This flautist is different in that he gets right down to the basic mechanics of a flute. Now, and finally, even I should be able to make myself a REAL native american flute (PVC, but I'm not tellin')😂
Fantastic video. Thankyou, I'm building a pvc flue today
Thank you! I hope my video helped!
Dude, this is absolutely brilliant! It’s 9pm and I’m starting a flute right now. You’ve got great teaching skills my friend. Flute on!
Well thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope your flute comes out great!
I made this with my daughter for her school project. Worked perfect and sounded awesome.
Your video and instructions helped a ton. Thanks dude 👍🏽
That's awesome! I'm glad to hear it! Thank you for the comment
Simple, short and well detailed. Thanks.
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome job and explanation. Thank You AJ.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you for the comment!
Awesome video and so well comprehensively made...thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
@@BuildStuffwithAJ Please keep making more varied flute DIY vids thanks! 👌🏼😃
Awesome bro!!!
I’m doing one for my son school project,
You have saved my life.
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Let me know how it cones out!
Thank you bro for the info. I made one of the flutes and it works.
That's great! I really enjoy playing mine! Not that I'm any good at it or anything lol
Thanks dude from creative Russia!
Thank you for the compliment! And the comment!
Thanks very much for this video. I had stumbled upon the idea from another series but your video clarified the use of the flute website and also gave the needed bare bones of the drill holes. I plan on making these some day with my science classes. Thanks again.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! And that sounds cool, let me know how your class likes the project!
@@BuildStuffwithAJ It might take a while but I'll keep you posted.
This is a really cool DIY.
+NoDragonsPlz thank you!
You have given a very fine detailed account for making the flute. Have you ever made a chromatic flute? this flute has eleven holes and is played vertically but needs a sling to hold the instrument when all fingers are off. There are m any articles and patents on this type of flute but none give details on actually making the flute as you have so well done for your f lute. thank you.
Ill be honest ive never even heard of that typw of flute. Although I'm not really much of a flute playwr myself I just made this one for fun and I do enjoy playing it. I may have to look into it.
Thank you AJ for your reply to my comments. I am pleased that I made you aware of something new. As you are a craftsman, who else to build the chromatic flute. One does not have to be a flutist to research and possibly even invent a different type of flute. You will find many patents for the type of flute I referred to. But they are originally Chinese and the translation is hilarious but the illustrations are very clear and understandable. There is also information on the only English made eleven hole flute and is accessible under Giorgi Flute. Also there is a video on RUclips describing a DIY pvc chromatic flute accessible under the tag Chromatic F lute. For sure there is no lack of information on the chromatic flute. Also interesting is the RUclips video accessible under the tag Flatsax in F which seems to be ideal for conversion into a chromatic instrument. I hope you will develop an interest in the instrument sufficient to get you into making one for the benefit of a huge number of chromatic instrument aficionados . All the very best to you, Sir.
Who is your background music at the end? Ive heard it before, and i like it!
Hello AJ...! I just have finished my flute, following your instructions step by step, and it really works, the tune was a little bit high G4 at 396.4Hz but is no much difference. It was made as a school homework for my kid..!
Master and Servant awesome! I'm glad it turned out good for you! And that's cool You got to do it for a school project! I hope it got you an A!
I hope so..! Peace....!
I just have subscribed to your chanel
Thank you! I'm grateful for the support!
Thanks! Will it still make a Musical tone if you started the top two holes further down than an inch and 7/8 and 3 & 1/2 from the top?
Well made & sick creativity
+Jack Waller Magic Thank you sir, I appreciate it!
Nice project.

Definitely going to use this for my physics project, thank you!
Marissa awesome I'm glad I could help you. Altho I am curious how this helps in your physics project
Build Stuff with AJ for our project, we have to make an instrument and play Twinkle Twinkle on it, and I was planning on making a recorder. So this video is perfect ☺

how would you make a low bass A ?
would love to hear your feedback
I havnt made one that low, but I did make one in the key of C4 here is the link

Sería bueno ver tu trabajo traducido al menos para los que no sabemos inglés. Saludos desde Perú. Buen trabajo.
outstanding
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for the comment!
How do you determine the length of the slow air chamber (SAC)? I’ve seen in a number of NA style flutes where the length of this chamber is at least 5 inches going to up 8 inches in many designs. You seemed to have chosen 2-3 inches, is this a standard for PVC flutes?
Great video!
+JustAnAverageJoe thank you!
Saludos amigo , gracias por compartir
Very good.
Douglas Brannon thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Chique demais amigo parabéns aí sim hein ficou show de bola 👍👍💯
obrigada! Estou feliz que você gostou do vídeo!
I was wondering if this flute plays an octave scale, if not how can I make it do so? Thanks, great tutorial!!
Ill be complearly honest with you, I know how to make the flute and I enjoy playing it but I am by no means a musically educated person lol.
I honestly dont have any idea how to answer the question I tried looking up but I couldnt get a clear answer. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
Build Stuff with AJ okay thanks!!
Take my hat off to you mate, that is really really great 👍👍👍👍👍
+Sumo's Projects Thank you sir, I had a lot of fun with this build!
Good night, teacher. In the NAFlumat site, in what stage is it possible to identify the total length of the flute and the space to make the region of the TSH? thank you. I await your reply.
Ill be honest with you, I'm not 100% sure on how to answer the question. I only know the basics of how to work that site. I just guessed at the over all length and cut it down until I got down to the key I needed. Just start out with the pipe longer that you would expect it to be and slowly cut it down until you get close to the key you are looking for. Once you get really close use a file to cut away even slower because it is easy to over do it and then you would have to start over.
Me encantó el vídeo
So cool!!
+Dia Taylor thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! You should make one yourself it's alot of fun to build and to play
- [ ] I had see the app before seeing on you video. I viewed someone else’s video that was just like yours. Having viewed other flute building videos, I was aware that a good practice is to cut the PVC pipe a little longer (my current build is 18.5 inches long and test as being close to F#. Also, a good practice I have seen it recommended to drill the note holes slightly small diameter to allow for adjustments. I had originally planned to make the flute with 5 holes instead of 6. I have the third hole from the sound hole taped closed. My current build will have 5 holes. My decision now is how much smaller, 1/4” or 3/16”. I consider my flute as my version of a traditional native flute. I want to thank you for making the video and responding to my comment.
Well it sounds like you've got a handle on your build then, I hope your flute turns out sounding great!
What is it that decides the lowest note on the flute? Is it only the length of the flute and the size of the bore, or is it the angle of the cutting edge or something as well?
CandyCreep Ent the lowest note depends on the length and bore of the flute
Not sure how far from the sound hole to drill the first finger hole, you didn't show that. Can you help please?
If you go to the description I explain where to put your holes. Also go to 6:00 and I explain it in the video. You measure from the very end of the flute, not from the sound hole but from the opposite end.
Distance from 1st hole to 2nd , 3rd, 4th_5, 6hole
Its all in the video description!
Dude, you’re so talented! Subscribing!
+WOLFFISM thank you! That was definitely one of my favorite videos I've made!
Thank you for the video. AJ, do you sell your flutes? I've wanted a flute like this for quite some time, but am 70 now and not able to make it and have no one who can. Just me 'n the dogs now. Again, thank you for the video.
I apologize for it taking so long to reply, I dont always get notifications when people comment. I'm sure we could work something out if your still interested. If you want to go to my Facebook page and send me a message we can talk about it.

This is cool!
+LeTavious Hemingway thank you!
I have 1" schedule 40 pipe, how do I determine where to put the sound hole?
For this flute to be in the key of g you will need to use 3/4 inch pipe. I did make a video using 1 inch pipe but it was a much lower key and alot harder to play
I wish I could under stand the holes distance I dont get it
I wrote the measurements out in the description of the video. You measure them from the cut end of your pipe ( the end you cut down to tune it) check out the description I am sure it will help
Sir how many octaves can be played on this flute
I'll be honest, I dont know lol. I'm not really much of a flute player, I just decided to make this one out of the blue and played it here and there
Which is lowest sound flute and the higher not sizes
Would a nail filer work? When making the sound hole
I can honestly say ive never tried it, but pvc is pretty soft so it might work. I'd say give it a try!
Thank you for a very lucid account. Have you ever built a chromatic flute? This has eleven holes and is held vertically as is yours. In the chromatic flute the thumbs are also used over holes opposite too the other holes. The flute needs a sling to hold it when all fingers are off. There are many patents and articles on this type of flute but none give making details as you have done so well for you flute.
Ill be honest ive never even heard of that typw of flute. Although I'm not really much of a flute playwr myself I just made this one for fun and I do enjoy playing it. I may have to look into it.
Will you please let me know what app you used on your phone to tune it to G? Thanks
Sorry, but I honestly dont remember. I've since deleted the app. Its bee a couple years.
How much will the sound vary if I make this with 1/2 inch pipe instead of 3/4 inch pipe?
If you look in the discription you will find a link to a website called nafluteomat. Change the bore size and it will show you how to make out of 1/2 inch pipe
In naflutomat, is the "total bore length" the full length from end to end, or just the end to the breath holes?
Because it says to cut to a certain length, but the flute is already higher than I'd hoped (D5 at 24" with no holes drilled). Won't cutting it raise the tone more?
Yes! Cutting it shorter will definently make it higher. I believe the total bore length was from the sound hole to the end if I remember correctly.
But to be honest I always made it several inches longer than it said and cut it down to the key I liked. The main purpose I used that site was for the finger holes.
But if you want a really low pitched. Or bass sound you will have to use a larger diameter pvc. I made a video making one in the key of C4. It was pretty low but it was pretty difficult to play, not impossible but very difficult.
@@BuildStuffwithAJ Cool. Thanks for the answer!
@@christopherspaulding9283 I hope it helps you out! Let me know how your flute turns out

Hi..would u pls teaching how to make key of low D ....thank you...greeting from Thailand
This video "worked" because I made it EXACTLY by your instructions and it turned out EXACTLY as it's supposed to. The only problem is, now I'm bored with the key of G major and need to make another one in a different key!
I said the exact same thing after making the fist one. So k made another video in the key of c4. Its super low toned and pretty hard to play. But it was a cool project.
Here is the link

What about if I want a flute with lower sound, like bass?
Ive already made a video for that actually lol
Here is the link

How many distinct notes can this flute play? Can it play different 8 notes? (not flat or sharp)
I wish I knew the answer to this but I'm not really much of a flute player, it was a fun build and I enjoyed playing it but I dont know much about playing a flute, sorry I couldnt help more
@@BuildStuffwithAJ Thanks for your reply anyway!
Do you know where to enter the length of the PVC pipe on the NAFlutomat website? I couldn't find where to enter it, and it seems like something that would have an effect on the sound...
@@audreymcknight the length of the pipe depends on what key you are tuning it to. There isn't a place to enter the length you just put in the inside bore diameter and what key you want to tune it to. Then you cut your pipe longer than you would expect and slowly cut it down until you reach the desired key.
@@BuildStuffwithAJ oh, I see! Thank you!
@@audreymcknight no problem! Let me know how your flute turnes out!
Hi. What is the final length of this one? Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately I dont have this flute anymore, I gave it away. I don't remember what the length was. But as long as you use a tuner and follow the instructiona in the video you can be sure it is tuned correctly
@@BuildStuffwithAJ Ok. I'm on it. Have a nice week.
You tuner is 440hz or 435hz ?
I honestly dont know. Sorry I couldn't help you more
@@BuildStuffwithAJ i Like your video thank for share
@@manoloramirez6456 thank you! And thanks for your comments!
i did everything exactly how you did but my notes are out of pitch except for the lowest note?
how could i fix this without redoing the whole thing
rookie591 hmm I didnt seem to have this problem. If they are too high you can use a small file to make the holes slightly larger which should lower the tone. If its too low already then you have gone too far. It could be that your flute wasn't tuned 100% dead on before you drilled the holes. Or it could be that you moved the drill bit a little too much causing the holes to be slightly larger.
It could also have alot to do with the amountof air you at. Blowing into the flute. You need to put a steady amount of air but at a low pressure to achieve the proper tones.
En qué clave es la flauta nativa ? "Sol menor" o "Sol mayor"
Nicely done. Info without the blahblahblah shtuff....THANK YOU!!

Me gustaría el editorial en español.
¡Cómo hacer una llave de flauta de PVC de estilo nativo americano de G! Aquí hay algunas herramientas y material que puede necesitar Tubería de PVC de 3/4 de pulgada - amzn.to/2zdlXlt Juego de brocas: amzn.to/2BblbXH Conjunto de archivos Key Hole - amzn.to/2zegGKo ¡Es una construcción de muy bajo costo y realmente gratificante! ¡Necesitará un tubo de PVC cédula 40 de 3/4 de pulgada (19 mm) de al menos 19 pulgadas de largo! Es mejor hacerlo largo para que cuando lo sintonices no empieces por debajo de la clave que deseas. Necesitará un corcho de una botella de vino, funcionan muy bien para este tamaño de pipa. También necesitará una aguja fina y una lima plana. El primer paso es hacer una marca central en la tubería para que todos los orificios queden alineados. La forma más fácil de lograr esto es tomar un trozo de madera de al menos el largo de su pipa y poner la pipa contra él, luego simplemente tome un bolígrafo o un marcador y páselo por la parte superior de la pieza de madera, como se muestra. en el video. Ahora tendrá que hacer una línea desde un extremo de la tubería, la primera línea está a 1 7/8 pulgadas (48 mm) del extremo y la segunda a 3 1/2 pulgadas (89 mm).
Luego usará su lima plana para limar la tubería entre esas dos marcas, hasta que la parte plana tenga aproximadamente 7/16 de pulgada (11 mm) de ancho. Esta es la parte de la flauta que generará el sonido. Ahora deberá marcar una línea donde los agujeros irán a 2 1/4 pulgadas (57 mm) y a 3 pulgadas (76 mm). Ahora taladre un orificio de 5 mm (3/16 de pulgada) en los puntos que acaba de marcar. A continuación, deberá extraer el tamaño real del orificio que necesita, que es un cuadrado de 3/16 de pulgada (5 mm) por 3/8 de pulgada (10 mm). Aquí es donde necesitará el juego de limas de aguja. El primer orificio que ha salido es por donde saldrá el aire y el segundo es el orificio por el que el aire se verá obligado a volver a soplar, aquí es donde se hace el ruido. A continuación, deberá archivar el frente del segundo hoyo que archivó, deberá archivarlo en un ángulo de 45 grados como se muestra en el video. A continuación, deberá obtener una medida entre los dos orificios que limó, debe ser de alrededor de 1/2 pulgada (12,5 mm). Ahora deberá cortar el corcho de la botella de vino a este tamaño y empujarlo dentro de la tubería hasta que quede está entre los dos agujeros, como se muestra en el video. Ahora necesitarás hacer tu pájaro, esta es la parte que forzará al aire que sale del primer agujero a entrar en el segundo agujero que biselaste en un ángulo de 45 grados. Simplemente tomé un trozo de tubería de 1 pulgada (25 mm) y lo corté a 1 1/2 pulgadas (38 mm) de largo, luego tomé una sierra de mano y corté un lado de la tubería a lo largo como se muestra en el video, luego todo hacer es deslizarlo sobre el extremo de la tubería en la que ha estado trabajando y ajustarlo hasta obtener el tono bajo que está buscando, no necesitará soplar muy fuerte para que esta flauta funcione, de hecho, si sopla demasiado difícil, no hará el tono bajo y no lo sintonizará bien. El siguiente paso es sintonizarlo, necesitará un sintonizador por supuesto, puede descargar uno en su teléfono como lo hice yo para hacerlo más fácil.
Ahora, para afinar una flauta, cortará el extremo opuesto en el que ha estado trabajando, solo querrá hacer aproximadamente 1/8 de pulgada (3 mm) o menos a la vez porque un poco rinde mucho al afinar. Algo a tener en cuenta es que cuanto más corta es la tubería, más alto es el tono.Si vas demasiado lejos tendrás que empezar de nuevo y hacer otra flauta, o simplemente podrías extender la flauta con un acoplamiento de PVC, no he probado esto. así que no puedo garantizar que funcione, pero vale la pena intentarlo. Una vez que se esté acercando a la nota deseada, deberá terminarla con su archivo plano para no quitarse demasiado. Ahora, para encontrar los agujeros para los dedos, usé un sitio web que les mostré en el video y les pondré el enlace aquí mismo. www.flutopedia.com/naflutomat_1_37_1.htm
Todo lo que necesita poner en esto es el tamaño de tubería que está usando y la clave con la que está afinando su flauta. Muestro más sobre esto en el video. Puede ajustar el tamaño de los orificios como lo hice yo para que tenga un tamaño de broca específico como lo hice yo. Hice todos mis agujeros de 5/16 pulgadas (8 mm). La tabla le dirá dónde colocar los orificios para los dedos midiendo desde el extremo que cortó para afinarlo. Las medidas que tuve fueron las siguientes 4 1/16 pulg. (103 mm), 5 7/16 pulg. (138 mm), 6 13/16 pulg. (173 mm), 7 5/8 pulg. (193 mm), 8 3/4 pulg. (222 mm) y 9 5 / 8 pulgadas (244 mm) Si disfrutó de este proyecto, asegúrese de ver mi otro video haciendo una flauta de tubo de PVC nativo americano estilo bajo, sintonizada en la clave de C4. aqui esta el link ruclips.net/video/NjICdkjTIHY/видео.html Participamos en el Programa de Asociados de Amazon Services LLC, un programa de publicidad de afiliados diseñado para proporcionarnos un medio para ganar tarifas al vincularnos a Amazon.com y sitios afiliados.

Can this be applied to cardboard tubes?
I suppose in theory it could be, I am not sure it would have the same tone. But you could always try it and see for yourself.

Please share this American native flute measurement in easy way in milimeter or centimetre not the using term of (like this style2/8or 7/8)👍😊
Look in the discription of the video, each measurment is in both imperial and metric like this " 3/4 inch (19 mm)"
how did you measure the hole size?
Well that depends on which hole your reffering to
any of them....I mean what did you use to measure the hole.
@@Ex-fk4nr there is a website in the description called nafluteomat and I used that website to determin where and how big the holes need to be to have it keyed in a certain flute
Hey man, great video! One question, is 3/4 inches (19mm) the inner diameter (thickness excluded) or outer diameter?
3/4 (19mm) is the inner diameter of the pipe. I am glad you enjoyed the video! Let me know if you end up making one yourself. Its a lot of fun to build and to play.
How to make one from 3/4 in the key of A
I may make a video in the future. But you should be able to type that info into the website I provided a link to in the description and get the results you want
Please make an Indian flute trance verse flute side blowing hole Indian style total 8 hole flute one blowing hole and six little far away from blowing hole all the seven all in staight line But the 7th hole is called tuning hole i think it is G note will place inner side of all seven holes , please tell me in milimeter or centimetre measurement , how to read measurement easily understandable if you please.
I can hope you will definitely make it and guide it
Thank you 👌❤️😊
Cool, Thanks! : )
+truthseeker88888888 your welcome!
in the video you say 18” pipe but instructions say 19”. Which one?
Hmm its been a while since I've made one, I am sure the video is right but I would start with 19 inches just to be sure, its easier to cut extra off than it is to add pipe to it.
I brought the pipe then realize I could not afford one of those file sets would a drill abd saw still do
I can't say for certain, since I didnt do it that way, but you may be able to find a cheaper small file set at a local store
@@BuildStuffwithAJ thanks
What is the total lenght of the flute
I honestly dont remember, I gave this flute away a while back. But if you start with 19 inch total length and follow the instructions you should end up getting it tuned correctly
What app do you use to tune it?
+George Smith the ap is called strings and it works very well!
I just measured it, and the plug would have to be 9/16" thick
This video is almost verbatim of the bushcraft guys video, except he uses a “bird” instead of a coupling..
Are you going to show us how to start fires too?
Lol
That's what I said. Pretty much word for word of far north bushcraft.
Except the birdie a pvc piece and not ceader.
The sound was very 'blown', it wasn't so clean, I think it's because of the PVC toten.

Hey I'm doing this project for school. And I have a question about the bird that how's over the two holes at the top. You said the bird is suppose to be 1". I tried that and it's way too big to fit over the 3/4" pipe. Should the bird be 3/4" as well.
I did this and yet no sound is coming out I feel like I'm missing something
@@robinhurst3958 did you use pvc pipe or cpvc? With the white pvc pipe the inside diameter of the pipe is 3/4 inch. And with cpvc the outter diameter of the pipe is 3/4 inch.
I used the white pvc pipe 3/4 inch for the flute and 1 inch for the birdy and it fit perfectly as shown in the video
@@MrNu1982 there cpuld be a number of steps you forgot to do that would cause this. Did you bevel the front hole at a 45 degree angle? Did you put the plug (wine bottle cork) inside the pipe between the two holes? And did you make sure you cut the cork down to the right size? It has to fit between the two holes, but it can't be too big or it will block the air flow to the second hole.
I suggest re watching the video and making sire you didn't miss a step
@@BuildStuffwithAJ I did watched it four times I think the measurements were a bit off give or take an inch
This sounds more like a F half# flute there.
i don't like the sound, but good video.
You dont like the sound of the video or the sound of the flute?
I built this flute. Easy build. However, while the tune of the 18” pipe is spot on (G4) and G5 is spot on, all the other notes are quite sharp. This is not an easy fix.
Did you use the fluteomate website I linked in the description or just go off of my measurements?
I changed all my holes to be the same size to make it easier for people to build, if you put in your dimensions into the website I linked in the description as I showed in the video you may be able to get a more accurate sound.
du pipeau
Bochereauauger Ghislain I've got to be honest, I dont know what this means
Bottom three holes didn't work 😂
Hmm, there are a number of problems that could have cause that.do they not work at all or are they not in tune?
Sería bueno ver tu trabajo traducido al menos para los que no sabemos inglés. Saludos desde Perú. Buen trabajo.
saludos desde Estados Unidos, de hecho, varias personas comentaron mis videos en otros idiomas, esa es una buena idea. ¿Mecanografiar subtítulos en español sería la mejor manera de lograr esto? No estoy seguro de otras opciones. ¡Gracias por tu comentario y me alegro de que te haya gustado el video!
@@BuildStuffwithAJ de todas maneras te lo agradezco, si se entiende el video, solo era sugerencia. Un abrazo.
