Your flute playing is incredible. I love your control of all the overtones.

[@NicolasBras]

Thanks!

This is my new favorite channel! I make instruments for myself and my daughter, who is 3. I wish I could play them half as well as I make them, though, maybe I should set my musical goals a little higher. Fortunately, it isn't difficult to entertain a 3-year old. I make mostly 1-string ukulele and banjo-style instruments. I have built a few flutes, but whereas I can play my banjos well enough to entertain myself and a young child, with my wind instruments I can't play them even to entertain myself, and after a while my daughter asks me to stop. So it's been difficult to build up enough skill with flutes to even enjoy practicing... I have a few other instruments I'm working on. I'm building a glockenspiel using steel gas pipes for the bars (sound is great). I made a partially working concertina using a PVC piston to serve the same function as a bellows. The sound is good, too, but the button valves have been difficult and unreliable, so it's unusable. I have a few other works in progress but they have not gotten to the stage where I can get them to sound. I have a propane flame powered trumpet sort of thing, but I can't figure out a fire-proof valve system to get different notes out of it. It actually makes more useful and interesting percussive popping sounds when the flames pop out after shutting off the gas.

Благодарю за интересное видео! Я тоже создаю музыкальные инструменты. Уже более 9 лет делаю окарины.

[@rasputin0452]

Thanks for opening my eyes to a brilliant and different sound from flutes 👍

[@norbertk.1796]

Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial about building PVC-overtone-flutes here on youtube. I never thought that it might be possible to create an instrument with simplest means which sounds so good, just like the genuine wooden flutes that I saw on youtube-videos! After tuning on B (123Hz) my flute has got the size of 132 cm in length with an inner-diameter of 29 mm. That I can open and close the end of the flutepipe with the free hand I had to add an air-detour from the original mouthpiece to half of the length of the flute - like a Fujara or the big wooden bass-overtone-flutes. Initially the sound was a little too soft and quiet - so I widened the windway in the mouthpiece a tiny little bit, about half a millimeter more, by honing down the visible rounding of the inserted wooden cylinderblock in the pipe with sandpaper. The fipple worked right away according to your measures and instructions (that’s really great!) Now first of all I have to learn to play that flute - because it is an absolutely new experience for me, playing a flute. My personal, real Instruments are didgeridoos, which I also build by myself from trunks that I find in nature or public garden waste places. Here an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6PGi3hmia-Br7M If the flute-playing fits me well, I will try to build a wooden one later on. Again - thank you so much!

[@NicolasBras]

Norbert K. Great, send us some videos !

[@norbertk.1796]

ok - this one is especially for you - although I cannot play it yet, just make noise - I had it recorded this evening - as my kind of "thank you !" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHLEgKdml52lZpY If you are interested you can find other postings with me and my selfmade instruments by searching for norbert didgeridoo or norbert scheitholt Scheitholt is a medieval string instrument which sounds very nice - the french pendant is the "épinette des vosges" - perhaps you know it? kzbin.info/www/bejne/j37bqX2HmMqcq5o - how do you find my invention of cat-motives for the sound-holes? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnLHnGmbdrJ-otk - the big grey-haired one in the front-middle, that's me with my selfmade Scheitholt among all these noble Mountain-Dulcimers. Here my grandson tests my (at that time) almost completed "krin", an african log-drum out of a piece of oak-trunk kzbin.info/www/bejne/jajcY5h_g6ZjhtE

[@lukashe817]

I built it and the result is much more satisfying than I dared to hope. Merci beaucoup pour les instructions

[@limacias1]

PURE MERVEILLE TON PARTAGE, MERCI!!!!

[@gmis0565]

Greatly appreciate all the work you put in these videos and the "rare and strange instruments" page. Thanks and cheers!

[@NicolasBras]

gmis0565 Thanks!

[@NicolasBras]

Other videos coming, slide guitar, bansuris, whistles, tell me your ideas! D'autres vidéos sont déjà en préparation, guitare slide, bansuris, whistles, n'hésitez pas à donner vos idées !

[@ajdegroot1980]

musiquesdenullepart If there's one instrument I would love to make myself it's a Kravik Lyra. Maybe not the easiest idea though haha. I'll certainly follow this channel as much as I do your Facebook page! Merci!

[@NicolasBras]

I have some homemade lyras, I take the idea!

[@verdomusic1650]

Moi j'essaie de faire un djentstick

[@NicolasBras]

qu'est-ce donc?

[@verdomusic1650]

En gros, c'est une guitare electrique à une seule corde pour faire du "Djent" - Une sorte très moderne de Metal Prog, beaucoup basé sur la rythmique de mesures asymétriques, c'est pourquoi une seule corde est suffisante. A mi-chemin entre une guitare electrique et un Chapman Stick. C'est plus un délire qu'autre chose.

[@justanaltaccount3352]

I never knew this was actually possible. Physics man, you gotta love it.

Wonderful instruments, and your sound and video production is excellent! It makes for an entertaining and informative presentation.

[@NicolasBras]

Thanks Hank, would love to make some but big lack of time!

[@danflousthomas7661]

wow, tu fais trop rêver. Je suis ta chaîne depuis que j'ai vu ta conférence filmée ou tu présentes différentes flûtes, un must! Vraiment pressé de découvrir la série de vidéo que tu prépares sur les flûtes harmoniques :D Bonne journée à tous!

[@Deus_Ex_Machina.]

The resulting music is unexpectedly good.

[@NicolasBras]

Thanks!

[@DerangedTechnologist]

C'est splendide. Merci!

[@magnusm4]

The long flute sounds are perfect for sound effects in games when picking up objects, finding a secret passage or gaining a new power up. Like in Rayman 3

[@NicolasBras]

yeah why not!

[@OtterLakeFlutes]

Please excuse my automatic, software translation first- - - - - Merveilleux! Quand j'étais enfant, je balançais un tube flexible et chantant dans les airs. Rien d'autre qu'un tube, pas de clapet ni de valve. Plus vous le balançiez fort et rapidement, ce qui faisait que plus d'air se déplaçait plus rapidement à l'extrémité du tube et / ou à travers (?) Le tube, la chanson augmenterait par intervalles harmoniques. Le tube était nervuré. Je ne sais pas si cela a beaucoup affecté directement le résultat ou si cela a simplement contribué à la flexibilité. Je vais faire cette flûte! - - - - - - Wonderful! When I was a child I swung a singing, flexible tube around in the air. Nothing but a tube, no reed or valve. The harder and faster you swung it, causing more air to move more swiftly across the end of the tube and/or through (?) the tube, the song would rise in harmonic intervals. The tube was ribbed. I do not know if that directly affected the outcome much, or if it just helped the flexibility. I will make this flute!

[@edwilliams9914]

Your videos ought to be in every child's school in every city in every country, both in music class and in physics class! Wonderful work! Can't wait to try one out!

[@MarkMcCluney]

wonderful vid, really enjoyed that. thanks for sharing and happy new year!

[@echodelta9]

I have been doing for the better part of this century. I haven't made a multi-flute yet, but 4 or more meters of pipe is one fun hack. When blowing a low note steady everyone can hear your heartbeat modulating the tone. My preferred length is 4 to 8 feet (feet is a physical musical standard, it's C) shaped like a big letter J reaching to the floor. The end is easy to close, shade, and slap for lots of expression! I use up to 1 inch and a half (40mm) pipe and heat bend a smooth 180 degree turn. I have a heater and wood mold to make plastic pipes that look just like metal diapason organ. The wedge mouth bottom helps correct for inharmonicity. One version has the upper lip movable.

[@laboule749]

[@panzerfaustss7551]

It is a very fantastic instrument! This instrument is also called koncovka from slovakia

[@NicolasBras]

It is! Not exactly the same shape and sound, but it is the inspiration!

[@panzerfaustss7551]

[@NicolasBras]

Merci! J'ai essayé de faire un forme qui reste intéressante même sans outils dans les mains, je découvre tout ça mais je vais continuer, les trous dans les flûtes sont pour bientôt!
