Hi from New Zealand!!! I would just like to know where I could get designs for double chambered flutes or double reed double chambered wind instruments from. I like the idea of the Arghul and also Satara. I like the sound of having a drone behind a melody. any help would be much appreciated. If anyone has these instruments for sale that would be cool as well and I don't mind if they are made out of PVC as well. Also I think the instruments I have seen so far are cool!!

Thanks

hi new zealand bamboo flute maker

wanna make reed double flutes?
great!
I still have to experiment on it before giving you good informations
but search for launeddas (triple clarinet from sardinia)
http://www.sardinia.net/sonus/
and hulusi (chinese free reed two drones one melodique encapsuled in a gourd; great sound)
and don't forget to tell us about your experiments.

let it blow

Hi if you want I can send you an old hulusi it needs a little work to adjust the reed for a better sound, it is yours for free if you can send me your address.Also please let me know of the prices for your Satara. Thank you for replying to my email.

Hello Thogoul, where are you in your experiences? Already made a satara? Did you begin with an original rajasthani flute?
