fipple kaval with same fingering as end blown?

Post by hove64 »

hi.
i have a D (Bulgarian style fingering) 7 holes, (plus one at the back), PVC, end blown kaval, which i love.
is there to buy a fipple kaval, with same fingering across the octavs, so i can give my lips a rest, without changing fingering?
(is it possible?)

thanks.

Tell us something.: Played sax and oboe in high school. Years later, living in apartment, decided to take up recorder as I thought it would be easier on neighbors than oboe. Been playing recorder for a few years. Have sopranino (Aulos), soprano (Mollenhauer Prima, Susato), alto (Yamaha 300, Mollanhauer Prima, Mollenhauer Denner Pallisander, Zen-on Giglio), tenor (Adler) and bass (Yamaha). Also have a lot of whistles but never really cracked (ha ha) the code as whistle technique is quite different from recorder technique. I also have a lot of harmonicas and world wind instruments (Ba Wu, Dudek, Sipsi and Nose Flute (!).

I think there is a Turkish instrument called a dilli kaval that is a duct (fipple) flute and also something from Armenia called a shvi. They seem to have seven finger holes and a thumb hole so I imagine you could use the same fingerings.
I have had mixed (actually not good) results buying ethnic winds on line. Some of them are more like tourist display pieces than playable instruments. Be careful. Is there any large Middle Easten communities in your area? If so there might be someone that could assist you. Musicians of all ethnicities are usually eager to talk music.

Tell us something.: I'm here because I just wanted to change my location... but it turns out much more complicated than I thought. Do I already have the 100 required characters?

Viktor Terziiski offers a "duduk-kaval" which has the same fingering as the traditional kaval but a fipple mouthpiece like Bulgarian duduk (a wooden whistle, not to be confused with the Armenian duduk which is a reed instrument) - however, I have never tried any of his instruments. http://www.flutemaster.net/

I think I will leave this idea, and just continue to develop my endurance in playing the rim blown style which I love much more than the fipple style.
Thanks to all.
