A new Flatsax design - Bb Mk10

[@SamChaneyProductions]

Can't wait for the measurements to come out! I'm going to laser cut and engrave one of these from translucent acrylic and see how it sounds

[@Dundere_de_Duke]

May I ask how and what you are planing on engraving it? I'm intrigued and would maybe even like to do something similar.

[@beefart100]

Linsey has a remarkably rare ability to make and play challenging instruments that inevitably sound gorgeous!

[@devon-crain]

I always get such a goofy smile when I see a new video from you! Thanks so much for sharing what you do with the world

[@javmbz_schlithler]

I just found your channel and I am fascinated by this instrument! Hoping to see a tutorial on how to make one someday. Great sound!

[@ruinsofenola]

I can't wait to make this instrument. I was so happy to see this video when I was thinking of buying myself a "xaphoon". please I can't wait for the production video to come very soon :D

[@BrendanArthurRing]

Looking forward to your book.

[@IsaacKuo]

What a beautiful instrument! I have no idea what effect it has on the sound, but the flat end looks more elegant than the curved end.

[@sylvieslug]

i remember seeing your videos like, a decade ago now, and im rediscovering them, and its so cool to see that not only are you still uploading (1 minute ago wow!) but you're also sharing like, how to make these awesome instruments, I think this channel is really really cool

[@radishdalek]

This new model sounds great

[@evanmsanders]

That sounds great! Can't wait to have a crack at making one!

[@peterfuchs7822]

Another wonderful instrument Thanks Linsey

[@alisdairherd9501]

Hi Linsey, any news on sharing the measurements? Keen to make one for Dad this Christmas.

[@aliensapien9854]

Hi Linsey, I recently discovered your work and it's so inspiring what you've dedicated your life and craft to. I've never been much of a maker but you're definitely inspiring me to start giving things a go. This Flatsax sounds incredible, amazing work!

[@christopheszabo2772]

Superb! I am awating to make one !

[@tekapowai4734]

Holy shit..that is beautiful Linsey

[@WeArMature]

Always super cool to see and hear your work. Thanks!

[@ConcealedWeapon]

Thank you so much for wanting to share your designs. You're a very talented maker and player. I'm ready to buy your book.

[@saxophoniker]

The flat sax is a great idea! The sound is great and the jump to the second octave sounds perfect.

[@Jim_One-wl4ke]

Wow 🤩 sounds so good. Looks easy to make, can you share some measurements? ❤love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Vidhata786]

Hello there. I love you and your music.

[@LoganStargazer]

Outstanding! Would you consider making a video, or series of videos, on how different materials affect the sound of an instrument? Cover everything from the crappiest paper and a balloon reed to the highest quality "proper" wood and a "proper" mouthpiece, plastic vs metal, and so on. I think this could be very educational.

[@mrdavrosjipo]

you could make a sock sound amazing

[@TheDrut666]

Got to make one of these. 👍🏻

[@HerpinThaDerp]

incredible

[@petercowell2051]

What a great instrument. I look forward to the plans coming out.

[@lukejohnston5566]

I eagerly await the plans! I have been excited about this since you posted the video. Tried to build one in G based on yours here, but no matter where I put the first finger hole it was hardly able to change the pitch a whole semitone, even substantially above 1/3 of the way up the bore and with a 10 to 12mm hole (20mm wide wood pieces). This happens often when I try to make reeded instruments with a bore wider than that of a duduk... perplexed how you do it!

[@naturalflats]

Nice!

[@roseericson3828]

Oh that’s awesome. As of this moment I am planning on buying your book. After you release your book if you could have a few easy tutorials on how to play specifically diagram the fingerings and cross fingerings that would be great!

[@The333halfofevil]

Great man! Thanks 4 sharing your art

[@ДымныйЛучок]

We are definetly waiting for the measurements!

[@amberbleu1598]

Oh that outro was soo beautiful....

[@ahmadbidmeshki]

Can you please share the design. Appreciate for nice videos ❤️

[@jairoa.finger1751]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho! Maravilhoso , se possível mande o gabarito...🎷👏🏻

[@Professorvapes]

have you got any plans for this i want to make one

[@adrianemaden477]

Im trying to build one but its difficult without the measurements. Please release them!!

[@DisVietVetUSA]

I just wandered in and there you were mate, I build wooden things, I am interested various wooden sax's.

[@multiphony]

this is just brilliant! actually sounds like some sound energy is going out the side boards to me? which you would of course know because you could feel it vibrate, and you could dampen it by touching the sides with your hands.. but as fingers are more on the front and back, that would perhaps not have an ill effect to the sound and playing, as I suspect it would otherwise have? this also opens up simpler diy versions of other non cylindrical bores.. a cornetto comes to my mind, (is it called that in english at all? in german it is called "zink") the historic often bent instrument with brass kind of sound-production, but flute like fingering holes, and an inside bore that starts conical, but gets less conical further away from the mouthpiece...

[@morillo1003]

What an incredible job yours my friend!! congratulations!! Do you have a book for sale where you explain how to make all your instruments and where they can be bought? Thank you very much in advance. a big hug brother!

[@eyesofisla]

Yessss new book 🙌🙌

[@fredfonseca6034]

I want One Please!!! Than is so COOL!!!!

[@dominictarrsailing]

wow it sounds fantastic!

[@solthas]

What the total octave range on it? Does it play 1 octave? Do you have any interest in adding a whisper key style thumb hole to up that range?

[@SquealyD]

middle C ro F (an octave and a 4th)

[@christine-lh1pl]

Hi Linsey, it's so good that you share your experience! Your enthusiasm is wonderful! I will try to built one, too. Of what kind of wood is the plywood? Best regards from Christine from Berlin, who is playing your saxillo now😎🎷 why is there no Saxillo-Emoji?...😃

[@bambooxaphoon676]

Linsey, you are a great master! Please, how do you calculate hole placement? Blindly? Or do you have a formula?

[@SquealyD]

trial and error over many (50) years :) I then record all my measurements so I can replicate hole positions for various bore diameters

[@bambooxaphoon676]

@@SquealyD Thank you, sir..

[@canibamusical]

Incrível o seu trabalho!. E o crescimento conico, para soar a segunda oitava?

[@wemersoncruz4813]

Parabéns pelo trabalho sensacional 👏👏👏👏

[@adrianemaden477]

Hos long is the flatsax?!

[@DementedMax]

I am incredibly impressed with your saxophone. If you have the dimensions posted at any given time, I can make you a manufacturing 3mf file or files to personally give to your free of charge. I think this would relieve Americans' ears when teaching people music - in that you can use it as a substitute for the recorder and still make for the same price. If I see the dimensions, I'll make it and give you the file.

[@adrianemaden477]

It can’t understand how it can be 6 mm up there when the aluminium pipe is 12 mm and it goes through the highest part attaching the mouthpiece
