The first flute that I ever made was a "native american style flute" out of PVC. I absolutely love the diatonic scale because no matter what your fingers do it has an incredible sound. What you have done is amazing. I would like to learn more about how you created the membrane for the "saxafone" class of instruments.

I can not play a reed (sax) or liptip (trumpet) because of jaw shape - I play whistle (recorder) or vibe (kazoo) - yet no one takes these seriously. I study to design an instrument that will use whistles to alter tones produced by a vibe. I may include a slide or drone in the design. I have learned form your video - I am inspired. Thank you.

I have listened to the two flutes about a dozen times and I hear a little more vibration from the bamboo flute than the PVC, but yes they are close and most people probably couldn't hear the difference. Sadly so many people miss the depth of sound because they aren't wearing decent headphones. Until I started producing my own music I had no idea what a difference good headphones make. I love your double and triple flutes...you're proving that knowledge is power. I'm a big fan of PVC, years ago I made many PVC archery bows for my son and all of his friends...some of them were based on ancient bows. PVC is an amazing material, you just have to be careful not to overheat it. Thank you Nicolas.

That last one had a truly ancient feel to it, what instrument was it imitating?
@progbassftw3 жыл бұрын
I don't know of any drone reeds but I'm assuming some might exist. If someone knows of any, please let me know! The vibrating membrane is similar to a reed (heteroglottal reed as the vibrating membrane is on a separate part than the resonating tube). Think clarinet or saxophone for single reeds (like this one) or oboe and bassoon for double reeds (if we had two of these membranes vibrating against each other). The drone adds quite some magic to it, sounding maybe similar to bagpipes, as bagpipes use drones quite a bit. I don't think this was attempting to imitate an instrument but rather to demonstrate the mechanism of action of reeds (and how it sounds) and how with the whole plug-and-play aspects of the PVC pipes you can easily hook up a drone to it. I also absolutely adored the sound of it but I'm a sucker for drones so I'm biased :) Wind nerds, correct me if I was wrong in something!

@progbassftw3 жыл бұрын
@@jasminejo2424 Yeah, they do sound different. I suppose it must be because of the difference in the sound pressure and in the reeds themselves. Not sure! I would really like to learn, maybe I should start making some PVC instruments! I mostly mentioned them because of the constant drone and their association with it, given that this last instrument had a drone pipe :)

La double flûte de Pierre Hamon est effectivement superbe (je l'ai essayée!), celle de la vidéo est une version polyvalente pour la démo, les flûtes que je fabrique avec des embouchures et accordages spécifiques sonnent bien mieux, mais pour la conférence j'ai joué le jeu de l'assemblage!
