Felix… thank you for the inspiration. I really enjoy your Swiss Army Knife lessons. After many, many years, I’ve started whittling again. Got a Victorinox Ranger and finding it to be capable. I’ve been practicing simple bushcraft skills and carving sculptures out of sticks chewed upon by beaver that I’ve found riverside. It feels healing to work with wood. Thanks from Oregon, for all you share.

[@FelixImmler]

What a wonderful story! Thank you!

[@JohnDoe-qs6hk]

Nice idea. Theoretically if you take off material from the reed you can tune it. The more material there is the more power you need to move it and the higher the pitch becomes. And on a sidenote the reed can also be moved inside the pipe. Or you can make a reedless flute. But I‘m not entirely sure how the latter ones work.

[@kevinmencer3782]

How would you move the reed inside the pipe?

[@andyhene6984]

Ein tolles Projekt. Ich habe zwar kein Schilf in der Nähe, aber dafür habe ich kürzlich in einem verwilderten Garten in der Nachbarschaft Japanischen Staudenknöterich entdeckt. Damit müsste das doch eigentlich auch gehen, ich werde es einfach mal versuchen und mir demnächst ein paar Stängel holen

Sehr schön erklärt, Felix! Ein ideales Bastelprojekt für Kinder. LG Micha

[@FelixImmler]

Danke Micha! Die Kinder werden Freude haben, wenn ihre Flöte klingt. Das Projekt ist aber nicht ganz einfach!

[@QuantumPyrite_88.9]

To those people who have no access to reed / cane materials ... visit a garden center or home improvement center and purchase bamboo stakes used for tomato gardening . A wire coat hanger will punch through the "sections" within bamboo and works faster if the coat hanger wire is red hot from a torch . Get the book - Whittling in the Wild and be glad you did .

[@CountDoucheula]

Another option would be to take a hammer and flatten out one end of the coathanger slightly, then you can chuck it up in a hand drill, heat it up and bore through. Used to do this all the time making stems for corncob pipes.

A magic wand can be anything, from a stick to a crystal, or even a piece of metal, it's just a medium for directing energy. I work with a wiccan so that info comes from an actual witch.

I think, of you could curve the reed down, instead of up, you could blow into it through the end, like a normal flute. No? But this way does keep it simpler, which is best for us who are just trying it out. Very fun, as always. Can't wait till spring to surprise the kids with this.
