NAF flute is complete

Flute 1

The flute I started many moons ago is finally complete.

More technical details are at The Pied Piper Visits the Shop!

This flute is unique in the following ways:

  • It is made almost totally on the lathe!
  • It has a +30 inch drilled cylinder. It is not assembled from two halves like most flutes
  • It is a “D” flute so it has a deep and hollow sound!
  • It is make of three pieces turned and then glued together!
  • Its my first wood flute!

The wood is poplar (this was experimental), the finish is polyurethane.

Dennis thanks for your help!

Now I am gong to make a small wood flute with similar techniques.

Enjoy…. Donnie
