Making a Native American Drone Flute - No Commentary - Blue Bear Flutes

[@bluetongueliz8734]

I can't really understand why people would say you talk too much. How informative the videos are is now unnecessarily reduced. We invented a mute button for a reason so there doesn't seem any probable cause to even mention such a silly comment. As someone who just started learning about flutemaking listening to your monologe has helped me progress so much faster than purely watching.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Words cannot express my appreciation for your kindness my friend!

[@ロクアンドロルしかない]

I can’t understand why people can’t just mute their volume or something

[@Timotheos-td7mq]

They're narcissistic trolls just trying to aggravate him.

[@drinktea4life]

Always be YOU! If we don’t watch it people will have us living our lives the way they intend us to live. And being the best version of them we can be. You are a completely genuine artist in every sense of the word, intuitively guided and never need to explain how you blossom. There are other KZbin videos they can watch since you and your videos are not good enough for them. Never be hushed! BLOOM !

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you so much for your kind words! As I'm dealing with a few more astringent and important issues, your point was so genuine that it very much helped me with those as well! Thank you again!

[@RidgeRunner5-]

Really like the fact that you showed all the measurements, thanks. Hell of a job man.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Mucho Gracias big time! Vielen Dank! Obrigado! Tussen Tak!😁 Thanks also for watching!

[@rustic35]

I say ignore the few people that complain about your talking. They can always mute the video. The rest of us enjoy your commentary.

[@Mwellmac]

wish this had commentary. I for one enjoy you talking too much👍 Your style is just so full of details. Its not you it is impatient people. Some things are just not going to be learned on youtube. I appreciate how you work hard to provide all the info you can. It helps people like myself immensely. Thank you sir!

🙏🙏

[@chucklearnslithics3751]

This is the exact flute I bought from you. Cedar drone in A. Plays like a dream and has been wonderful to learn on. Fun to see how it was built. TY!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Cool! More of these videos to come soon!

[@TheCreatrixStudio]

Where did u learn to play it

[@ronduff4325]

I like when you explain what you're doing. Other people talk to much Charlie.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you my friend, it's good to hear from you! I hope you are well!

[@kitincognito516]

I am Yaqui and wish I knew how to make these instruments! My local tanf building offers Navajo language courses but so much of native culture has been lost including the connection to the music! Thank you for posting! And ignore the haters. Would love to hear you speak! Now I’m headed to watch your other videos !!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you so very much for watching and for your kind words my friend! Please check out my hundreds of other videos on how to make and play Native American flutes. So many cool new ones coming out very soon

[@michaelmartin9335]

Love that flute playing sounded beautiful, well done 🙂🙂🙂

[@BlueBearFlutes]

An older album of mine no longer in circulation... Thanks!

[@jamescahood]

This was a great video. I really enjoyed the flute background music and the measurements you showed us along the way. It was nice to sit and relax on lunch after a rough morning at work. I made my first couple of bamboo flutes and I am having a lot of fun making and playing them. Your book and videos are outstanding. I can't wait to receive my flutes that I ordered, it is always nice having original work from someone you look up to and learn a lot from. Keep up the great work! :)

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Thank you!

[@icysteve46]

As a wood worker, that doesn't look too difficult. I've made a cigar box ukulele, cigar box bass and a cigar box 3 string guitar. They turned out great. I really have gotten to like the sounds of this instrument so time to give a go at making some. I'll subscribe and pop in quite often as you look like you know your way around this craft. Cheers

Hi. I just wanted to ask what are the measurements on 3:30 and 3:40 of the video? I actually watched the video where you talk and prefered it. But I don't know if I skipped the those measurements tgere or they weren't mentioned. Thanks

Once again a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, before the year is out I will order an A drone . How would I order it with a custom totem.

A drone will probably be the the next one I get from ya, along with a little people or western cedar. I'm still going to keep messing around with the pvc and other materials, still need to order your book, Lol. But I'm not even going to attempt to make a drone right now. Lol

[@Tintara369]

hello friend, what glue did you use to glue the two pieces together? 🙏

[@BlueBearFlutes]

I usually use Tightbond II. III is good, bit for me II is better. I have other videos about that. Thanks for watching.

[@conradofreitas8978]

[@garreb7]

Another Great Video Charlie. The background Music is Enchanting, are there tabs available for that?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Not on this particular song my friend, one day when I have more time maybe I'll get to write it all out! I will certainly consider that for the upcoming albums!

[@marciacunningham5877]

Great video. Is the drone tuned to the fifth? Michael

[@sou1de3p]

Well personally I enjoy your monologs! Gives your videos more personality and you always explain things well. Are the links listed in this description the same exact flute as this? I've been dying to try making a drone, but I only have the router drill, sander and torch. I dint have a planner. Will it still come out as well?

[@williamjohnson476]

Yes you can easily make a serviceable drone flute without the planer.

[@sou1de3p]

@@williamjohnson476 wasn't sure if the added thickness would affect the sound

Hi. Please, can you write me where exectly must I drill the holes? You show it in video with metre, but I cann't see it exactly. I will make these double native indian flute for my own. Thank you very much. Robo

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Hey Robo, please check out my countless other videos on how to make Native American flutes. I showed the dimensions for most of them and others however this one was meant to be play no talking video.

[@robo208]

Thank you very, very much. I check it. I wish you nice weekend

[@frederickfilteau268]

Thank you for your tutorial !! Nice job 😊I made the same but without our tools so i have some difference like tube is not perfect cicrcle and the space where you put the block for the song is m little more long . But only one side make sound ? Its because im bad with flute or tow side suposed to make sound when i blow in ?

[@frederickfilteau268]

I cannot see where im wrong ?

[@Reaction39]

Is the burning of the wood necessary? This looks very interesting

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Historically, it didn't happen. Necessary is a matter of perspective. As with anything, there are countless other ways to do it. I have some other videos that might help out to explain that!

[@donaldhenhawke5187]

Is it necessary to put the hole on the other side of a A drone flute?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Nope, however it is easily playable by most people and makes for a wonderful melodic experience!

[@donaldhenhawke5187]

May I ask what the liquidity substance is that you squirter in the chambers?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

@@donaldhenhawke5187 usually mineral oil. 🙂

[@pedrodeleon7152]

What is the diameter of the cutter at 0:58 of the video? I can't understand this caliper model hahahaha Thank you very much brother, your videos are incredible and inspiring! They are helping me a lot

[@BlueBearFlutes]

3/4" (19mm) diameter or 3/8" radius Thanks for watching!

[@pierfrancescopesaola341]

master Congratulations on your videos. One key question. From the video you don't see an important step for those who want to build From the side where you blow it should not be drilled until you open the chambers?????lei when he closes the flute he closes it without drilling the two chambers...then once closed he does not drill them....but how does air pass through???

[@BlueBearFlutes]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzOXoSQe5Kjj68 This video may help you. That is a main portion of every flute and in most other videos I go into great detail with it.

[@crestonsimpson1370]

Was that superglue that you used to join the two halves or CA glue?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

You'll forgive me but I thought they were the same. Kinda like a Lexus and a Toyota. 😀 Or maybe a Toyota and a Ford Taurus.

yes

Exactamente! 😀

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome :)

[@loveplease3740]

What is this material that you add at the end?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

The wax? It is imitation Bear fat. A plant based sealer to protect the flute.

[@loveplease3740]

The truth I wanted a really good native flute, then it costs money and my financial situation is not really good, I decided to build myself and then I succeeded but it does not sound like there is in your sounds, if you send me a picture of how its mechanism should be in the two holes of the air I would love Thank you very, very much

[@loveplease3740]

And it's even more interesting and deep the process of creation then use it

[@loveplease3740]

@@BlueBearFlutescan i use varnish instead?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

@Love please 🥦 I would not. It's unsafe, the shine doesn't last, sticks parts together that need to be able to move and is historically wrong.

Couldnt read what the measurements were supposed to be on the callipers as not familiar with the device, it would have been better to just write to figures down and show it.
