  1. I’m now making small pentatonic #bamboo flutes, thinking of children or others who play little or no music but enjoy making nice sounds from time to time.
    Lowest note: A6 ⇒ Very small (20cm).

    The bamboo is sanded and oiled. It actually looks nicer that way.
    I’ve gone for a fipple mouthpiece, but a straight one (I don't know how it should be called), with the widow facing you, opposite the finger holes. Apparently, this type of mouthpiece is typical of Eastern European flutes. Well, precisely… 😏

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@NoveltyBot/11

    From the ad copy:

    "Do you ever pick up a whistle without blowing it to see how loud it was? Did anyone? No!"

    Actually, I've never picked up a whistle and blown *into* it to see how loud it *is*? (I guess "was" would make sense if you were blowing it with a grenade or a bomb.)

    For all I know that thing would have been sat on by a wild skunk, and I don't want to try the taste of wild skunk butt, thank you very much.

  10. Here are my dimensions for a 4-hole #whistle that plays G pentatonic scale (an “intuitive instrument,” as they say): G, A, B, D, E—and then, an octave higher, G, A, B (and even D, with the finger-holes covered, as the 3rd harmonic). Nice sound, easy to play, not that hard to make.
    Bamboo (from a gardening store) with an inner diameter of 12 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm.

  17. Another #MaxMorning.

    After a lovely #Walk in the #Snowy #Woods, Max found a patch of #Mud when we got home & tried to #Prance through the house like he was #Clean as a #Whistle.

    This led to our first #SelfServe #Bath at #BubblyPaws, which was WAY better than using the shower.

    I especially loved Max's Beyonce pose during the blow-drying.
