You had me guessing what it was, right till you put the series of holes in. Then I knew it was a wind instrument, but not which type. That, I had no idea of, till I saw it played, as I couldn't figure out what the knob was for. It is a lovely instrument! What a gift to be able to "make" music!

[@JackMackWoodturning]

[@ProtoNeoVintage]

@@JackMackWoodturning probably not. My skill level isn't quite up to flute standard yet. But I think the variety of woods in rail spindles could add a bit of interest to the rooms.

I see your drill bit has Peyronie's disease. Next time, drill halfway from each end.

[@JackMackWoodturning]

That would lead to two hold that don’t meet in the centre mate. I have the “boring” equipment to drill straight long holes but the bore is only 10mm in this instance the bore needed to be 14mm. The reason the spindle was kept so wide was to allow for the inevitable drift of the bit through the piece giving a uninterrupted hole through the centre, which is important to get the right note.
