Previously I made a V Shapd Drone flute from 3/4 pvc. I was very pleased with the end product but it is not an easily portable flute. So I wanted to make a
1/2" version where the tubes ran side by side. The trick was to angle the holes in the mouth pieces. So far so good.
And for those who missed the old post here is a shot of the v shaped version

the back ground drone is the best part of bagpipes, im definitely going to make me one of these, i never succeeded, in pvc, for the naf but the way you made
these looks really easy

I like these flutes you are making, Phil. I may use this in a school class I have been asked to help in. Actually I will use the single one but I really like
this double one you have come up with. Wonder if I could talk you out of one?

Just IM me your address and I will send out one. Do you want one in the raw form for analysis or a fully finished one?

I didn't talk that hard Phil. I really like the tuning on the finished single flute you sent and the double will be fun for me to work with. I really
appreciate and will make a recording of some sort when I get going one day soon.

"talk that hard?" Not sure what you mean but I am happy you go the package. I liked the immediate tuning on the bottom three notes of the drone, I
figured with your skills you would do a better job then me refine the top two holes. Enjoy!

It was a clumsy attempt to say thanks for a geneous gift. I took the single flute out on a trip and played it at the far point on the Apache Trail along the
Superstition Mountains. I also cut a flute length of Agave while there.
