Makes you wonder what the guy is over-compensating for…
well it does say FANTASTY flute
For the lack of really big bamboo flutes in the market?
I called them and asked about it. He says that surprisingly it doesn’t take much air to play at all.
This thread title sounds like a targeted version of most of the spam that I get by email.
Also says it has only 4 finger holes. Hmmm.
Thanks VB. Apollos Axes is a very cool site. I went off on a tangent when I saw they were selling Violas de Caipira. So I found another cool site,
This is the translated page of Kuarup.com. Full of streaming clips of Brazilian regional music which played instantly on my Mac.. I think I may have to take up the viola de caipira.
That’s not big.
This is:
Fipple to End = 4 foot unfolded.
I think I’ll make a Flute Headjoint for my basswhistle.
Sound clip! Sound clip!
What size is that pipe anyway?
1.6 inch inside diameter bore. About three foot long, 4 foot if unfolded.
And yes, it has 6 holes. Six large holes!

I dub it “Sewerphone”
That’s a pretty big bore. How does it blow?
With your lips tight and watch the teeth.
Well, it take more air than a Low-D but not terribly much more.
For me it’s not too bad, but I used to play trumpet and have a lot of wind. (uh, oh, hear come the puns).
