Bamboo Flute

feeds@yuku.com (whiphollowknives) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:01:52 GMT

I had mentioned in a reply that I found some big bamboo and I was going to try to build a NAF with it. The whole piece measures approx 27'' and the foot end is approx 2'' wide. The SAC end is approx 1 1/2'' wide. Any way I started on it at approx 230pm and worked on it until approx 6pm. I left the node in the body for the plug. From the plug to the SAC end was approx 2''. I wanted at least 3'' on the SAC and then another 3'' on the mouth...

First working flute! (Made of Mexican Bamboo)

feeds@yuku.com (Huey Tlatoani) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:51:14 GMT

I've been trying off and on to make an end-blown flute since spring, and having only marginal success realized that there are other types of primitive flute out there! Last night I decided to try my hand at a side-blown (if that's what they're called) flute. I made 2. The first was made of poison hemlock, it almost worked, so I tried again with a different material-mexican bamboo (polygonum cuspidatum). The piece had been cut in the summer and cured for a couple of months. I...

Throat singing

feeds@yuku.com (TallCotton) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:30:35 GMT

Click the link, wait 60 seconds as the count down timer indicates, then download and choose to open with windows media player. At least that works for me. Might not be dial up friendly though. I like this kind of stuff. I hope you do too.

Introducing Oriental Music

feeds@yuku.com (georgewilliam) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:35:30 GMT

'Oriental' means Eastern. The term is used in context of describing people, countries, culture, and merchandise, belonging to the Orient or 'The East'. However; following the increasing offensiveness being associated with the term 'Oriental', it is being replaced by 'Asian'.

Oriental or Asian, Music knows no such boundaries. The flavor of Oriental music has transcended geographies, reaching the souls of innumerable music lovers. No single...

"wingbone" xunarina

feeds@yuku.com (panbreaux) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:12:41 GMT

this is one of my hybrid creations. it's modeled after some ancient wingbone flutes that had a square embrochure in the middle with open ends capable of 4 tones. the embrochure came from the chinese xun, which is a type of ancient ocarina. instead of bone i obviously used copper. i hand hammered the finger holes into the ends to make use of 4 hole ocarina tuning. the second pic is one of my first prototypes i made from the head of one of my "firewood" quality bamboo transverse...
