Hi Tribalwind
I saw your web, and I found that you are making flutes.
I´m teaching as a volunteer to 140 kids at rural school elaborate artisans with guadua angustifolia and bambu phillustaquis. Some of them wanted to elborate musical instruments but I dont know how to do it. I would like to know the measures and the holes to give a good tone. Can you please help me with some instructions, so I can make and teach how to elaborate instruments for the kids.

Thanks Patricia.

I find this pdf from Mark Shepard
The 584

And about flutemaking, well, I told somewhere, the best is Air Columns and toneholes by Bart Hopkin
A great book and a great man too!!

is a good point to start and to explain why the things are as they are.
Twelve dollars in nothing for this very organized book
