Hi! a friend of mine has put together an e-book on making a simple flute which is square no routing and just a bit of carving to make the sound mechanism if you would like to take a peek and see if you could manage that I would be happy to put it up on my blog on flutes, I think people are scared of trying but once you have a grasp of how it works its fairly easy,

Never mind I will leave the flute and other instrument creative making for others. LOL

Thanks for the advice though

Val,with bamboo you have to remove all the membrane's except the one you want to be the plug then heat treat it so it wont crack, using a blow torch LOL!!! dangerous if you dont get all the membrane out it will explode,

You make them?

That is quite a talent. I read about the making of flutes thinking maybe I would try and there is no way I have that ability. I found what I thought perfect bamboo once along the beach and all I could do was crack it!
I guess that is something I will leave alone! LOL
