Instructions how to make Indian Native American Flute

Hybrid American - Slovak whistle

 

Flute American Indian (Native American Flute), I was impressed by its "primitive" production technology.Primitive word has a negative meaning, but rather reflects the ability to produce something with your bare hands without the advances of modern technology. Division among Indians wood, nails extracted the cavity and the two halves stuck together Download flyer Back resin. So there is no need for drill, as is the production of Slovak whistles, pipes or fujara.

Air enters through the inlet into the antechamber. It goes from the antechamber outlet opening underneath the bird through a narrow air gap. After leaving the slot faces the edge of the box. Edge is inclined so that air is directed inside the main compartment.

 

Traditional Indian flute has a different number and different distribution of tactile holes than Slovak. The diameter of the bore and the proportions are different. As I have already rehearsed the songs and fingering for 6 hole whistle shepherd, I decided to adapt Indian flute Slovak ratio. Appearance looks Indian, but the hole diameter, hole diameter and width tactile box I made ​​the model shepherd whistles .

 

This resulted in 6 N type shepherd's whistle hidden in the body of Native American flutes. Since this is a hybrid experimental musical instrument, I neglected primitive techniques of production and I helped machine tools.
