Thank you! What a great video. First of all, I was trying to listen to you, but couldn't get past the brilliant and beautiful flute playing in the background, so had to stop. Then enjoyed the instruction and was blown away with the effortless demo. You are brilliant. You have made my day, put a smile on my face and inspired me to have a go. Thanks🙂
Hello! greatings from Mexico, your video is excellent, thnks a lot! by the way , you can reach the three complete octaves, I mean from D1 to C3? or this PVC flute gets from D1 to which note? thankss again :)
I made the flute, it sounds really nice, thank you! Would you be so kind as to give me a link to a fingering chart for this flute? I'm having difficulties finding the correct notes by myself...
Pretty impressive, Emi, though with the cylindrical bore, wouldn't this more properly be a 'Renaissance'-ish flute? Still, you are amazing in so many ways. Congratulations on succeeding Chris Krueger at H&H.
Yes totally! This video is an approximation in SOOOO many ways. Hehe - hopefully just a fun project that gets folks excited about the flute...and wine 😉
Firstly, Emi, you're the best. Thank you for ba-rocking so hard all the time. Also just did this project! Any suggestions for cleaning up the plastic hanging inside the flute body? I cleaned the outside hangers-on with a box knife, just not sure yet at the best way to get those hangers inside.
Making it out of a mop handle of the same internal dimensions. I'll see how well that works. Thinner wall and metal so maybe a bit crisper sound. Not finished yet but I'll say thank you for the tutorial. My Forte's Native American flutes, and i have done several Irish whistles. Wood, copper, and plastic have all been interesting and a learning experience. Thank you beautiful 😊
Thank you so much for sharing the plan. What is the pitch of this pvc traverso flute? Is it possible to make one out in 415Hz or even 392Hz (French chamber pitch)? I play an wooden alto recorder and love French baroque music. I would like to play Hotteterre, Boismortier etc on a traverso baroque flute, but it is sooo expensive to achieve a wooden traverso here in Brazil. And Aulos Traverso ABS resin is expensive to buy from USA because of all those charges. I will have a try to built one by my own. It is only a pity that it will have not the pink finger for d#/eb notes...
Sorry mas se quiseres fazer algum travesso nao te fies neste video pois um travesso tem 9 ou 11 buracos e nao seis o que ela fez foi um pifano🤦♂️ Ahhhh e tenta faze-lo com madeira em vez de pvc pois um pifano é conico e nao reto e tem uma chave só para alem da madeira dar um som bem melhor e ja agora eles sao feitos de box wood uma madeira ate cumum aqui na Europa. Espero que consigas tenta procurar com medidas de travessos reais e podes-te fiar um pouco nas medidas da flauta doce barroca boa sorte eu sei que da trabalho eu ja fiz uma dizi ( flauta de bambu chinesa com menbrana de arroz para produzir som caracteristico) e sei o trabalho que da para pesquisar informações deste tipo ja que a maioria das pessoas só sabem fazer pifanos ou quenas. Boa sorte🙃😘
@@FranciscoOliveira-kd5vt Grato pela preocupação, mas eu estou bem ciente que essa flauta não é e nunca será um traverso barroco. Este projeto de flauta se assemelha muito ao pífaro europeu em ré (um buraco da embocadura e seis buracos para as notas), sendo este projeto da flauta da Ferguson um pífaro tenor em ré, ou seja, uma oitava abaixo. Creio que a diferença é o sétimo furo cuja chave aciona a nota ré sustenido grave e ela faltaria nesse pífaro tenor em ré. Outra diferença é que o traverso barroco tem diâmetro interno cônico em oposição ao tubo de pvc que é reto, o que impacta um pouco no timbre. Eu descobri um método de pífaro em ré (sem chaves) impresso na Inglaterra no final do século XIX. Eu vou comparar os dedilhados deste método com os do Hotteterre. Eu não posso comprar um traverso e o Brasil está um completo caos agora por conta do COVID-19 e o do desastroso (des)governo do Bolsonaro, sem chances de eu gastar quantia grande pra importar ou pedir ao luthier aqui do Brasil (Marcos Ximenes) que me faça um traverso.
Hi Lucas. This video/project is definitely intended as more of a "fun project" than one that will create an instrument that is reliable enough for performance. You should check out Nicholas Bras' work @musiquesdenullepart and also the work that is being done currently by the Crathes Cuhissil team in Scotland. The flute in the video plays at 415 pitch, but is cylindrical, rather than conical which effects the tone immensely. You could also try getting in touch with some traverso makers and asking them their advice for crafting one out of a PVC pipe like this and what they might do to achieve a reliable instrument - without the addition of a key, and a conical bore, they might recommend something more akin to a renaissance flute design. I'm sure they'd be happy to share their advice! Good luck - I for one am hoping that someone comes out with a great 3d printed traverso soon!
There’s a program/web site out there that allows you to plan a flute out with different sizes of tubes, hole count and hole diameters. It’s quite sophisticated - and I’ve got a few flutes already planned. I guess if you go for a 7 finger hole flute you can then key the lowest hole - and obviously you can choose which key and frequency you want. Have fun!
Hi! This ends up playing in "C" at a=415. The lowest note is a D a whole step above middle C (which sounds like a C# at 440) and the highest note is an A 4 ledger lines above the staff). This should be the same as an Irish flute, which are often modeled very similarly to baroque/classical flutes.

What beautiful sound you get on that pvc flute. Amazing.
this hopefully will be a new project to build and to learn! love me some bach
Hello! greatings from Mexico, your video is excellent, thnks a lot! by the way , you can reach the three complete octaves, I mean from D1 to C3? or this PVC flute gets from D1 to which note? thankss again :)
Don't you need to use an emery board or file to smooth the sides and edges of the emboucher and tone holes?
Thank you! A very precise description!
I made the flute, it sounds really nice, thank you! Would you be so kind as to give me a link to a fingering chart for this flute? I'm having difficulties finding the correct notes by myself...
In this case you will need to create your own fingering chart.
This is a cool renaissance pvc flute.
i have a question from the creator does the holes need to be exactly the same size as the others? how about the mouth hole
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow amazing

Great job! Very inspiring!

Hmm! Maybe a stick with some sand paper on it that you can thread up the inside?
what!! im so doing this!
plus i get a bottle of wine out of it! 🍷 😂 👍🏽
Excelent tutorial! Thank you!
Is it possible to make double holes for semi tones in this flute?
Making it out of a mop handle of the same internal dimensions. I'll see how well that works. Thinner wall and metal so maybe a bit crisper sound. Not finished yet but I'll say thank you for the tutorial. My Forte's Native American flutes, and i have done several Irish whistles.

So how was the mop baroque?

I might have to de-commission my bathtub to make one of these.
Super!
What a cool project! Thanks for sharing! If you wanted to add a 7th hole with a key, where should it be and what would be the right diameter be?
Hi David - unfortunately I am. not sure, though I bet @musiquesdenullepart has some great tutorials
Now, I just need to make a flute and learn to play it.
So... chapeau bas, Emi! But it is a little bit more a renaissance flute, with cylindrical bore. But anyway, it is a great job.
And also more of a renaissance flute due to not having d# key.
How fun! What key does it end up playing in? I wonder what length we'd need to make it an Irish (in D) flute?
Hi! This ends up playing in "C" at a=415. The lowest note is a D a whole step above middle C (which sounds like a C# at 440) and the highest note is an A 4 ledger lines above the staff). This should be the same as an Irish flute, which are often modeled very similarly to baroque/classical flutes.
