Book Description
As one of man’s earliest musical instruments, the flute in all its forms has been a constant companion and friend. With a few simple tools and easily obtained PVC plumbing pipe, you can create your very own flutes for fun and personal fulfillment. Like many of the earliest flutes, they are not tuned to any modern or traditional scales, rather they are tuned to the ear and heart of the maker: you. PVC Spirit Flutes shows how to make six different styles of flute from around the world. There is a simple nose flute of Pacific Island origin, a simple fipple flute of Irish descent, a two chambered flute of the Americas, a vessel flute from ancient Europe, a transverse flute from northern India, and a notched flute hailing from the islands of Japan. With a simple and straightforward approach, building your first flute for personal enjoyment and relaxation has never been easier.
