[Woodcarver] Flute design: Woodcarver Digest, Vol 1970, Issue 1

Aeolean harps are a way to get music from the wind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolian_harp
I think there would not be enough force for a flute.

My quick perusal of the messages brought this FLASH of an image to my mind and a question. Has anyone you know of made a BIG flute carving-I mean BIG for the wind to play? Casey

Joe,

Blowing across the hole (embouchure?)is for the classic flute design.  The

Native American style flute has a slow air and the flute body separated by a

wall.  There is a channel under the totem (in this case the hawk) that takes

the air flow across to the whistle part (fipple).  There a good explanation

and diagram at...

...although I don't consider it an "odd instrument" <G>.



Keep on Carvin'
