May I know which song is playimg on the 31 min

I showed my buddy a 5 hole native American style flute I made and he asked what hole to keep closed 😆 😆 and don't sit while you play, only stand balanced on one foot

Back in the day (2005) I used to ship all my flutes in those white paper tubes with a small piece of bubble wrap on the ends of the flute so it fit tight in the tube. Probably used 1 Square foot of bubble wrap but those tubes aren't as cheap as they used to be. Shipped about 100 flutes like before my workshop burned down. I'm super careful with fire now and making flutes again thanks to you "reigniting" my passion.

7$ for the wood and a lot more $ for all the machines :D

Hi Charlie, this looks quite easy to make. Does the length of the slow air chamber (SAC) matter with these PVC flutes? The wooden flute that I bought had a SAC of at least 8 in, but perhaps this is a more traditional design? I am seeing some other NA style PVC flute makers keeping the SAC length short as well, perhaps its easier to push a dowel or cork through it.

Where could i find and get native American flutes ? Thanks

GREAT

i picked it up on day 1, was able to play first octave easy with the only challenge slightly was getting the the top 2 notes of the first octave to be as clear as i wanted, ofc, the one i play is an anasazi scale with quena mouth piece, it feels so natural to me, yet i have had a side blown flute for a few months or so, struggling to get a good sound lol funny how things work

Thank you Charlie, this was very helpful. Now I am watching the next one. Your service to the music is so honorable.

I play and nothing but air comes out

Huge thumbs up from the UK Charlie….your vids are MUCH appreciated. I just spent 1 1/2 days building my first branch flute with hand tools from willow and it’s a big learning curve….thought I’d nailed it on my first attempt but once I started drilling finger holes to tune I realised something was wrong. It’ll play the bottom 3 fine (but a bit airy I think it’s called) and anything above that is doomed) If you want a giggle I’ll send it to you as long as you promise to tell me which bit or bits I cut wrong? Either way…loving your work and your outlook…….thank you!

Drone tone is real annoying. Fan ? Compresser ?

Thank You.

You are so masterful! I am mesmerized with your playing. Stumbled here to make a whistle for a young friend. He knew I whittled ‘ sticks’ so he brought me one to make a knife or sword. Being five it is his obsession. I explained that his mother would not like that and he left the stick. I made a poor effort with the stick he provided but the sound was feeble. He asked for a better one and here I am. After making three eagle whistles I have a reasonable facsimile that works. Thank you. I had to rotate the plug about 45 degrees to get the to work. I think I will attempt a flute next.

Just curious why do you burn in most of the holes and stuff?

Good man, respect

Bullnose bit

I literally just bought this flute can’t wait for it to get here and start my journey

My dog sitting in a chair next to me just turned his head and stared at me with the Eagle whistle 😅😁 he had some attitude in his eyes, as if saying "seriously? not fair" (he loves to bark at birds in the trees/on the fence). Also, I am composing an email to you between watching more of your videos, to follow up from my previous comments- will be sending shortly!

Thank you

You're a good man stay kind Respect from Canada long live blue bear flutes 2024 share his videos..

It’s the number 1 followed by one hundred ones

I want to correct & say again that I love both tones, but I am really drawn to the low tone version of this key of D drone flute. Thank you for this & all your posts! ✨💖🌟💖🌟💖✨

Thank you for your advice; for I started to play the pan flute two years ago, and I find when playing this instrument in the heart of mother nature, the sound fade away a bit. I was looking for the option to amplify this instrument as it is done for guitare and other musical instrument. Thank you again!

Beautiful sound in both however, I do love the lower one.

What flute are you playing in the intro? Thank you.

Extremely helpful! Thank you for having so many informational videos, for everyone from beginners to experienced musicians, and everyone in between! Blessings

Man alive I need to get one.

It would be great to buy an agave flute from you. Do you have any in stock Charley?

Hi sir, I would like to kindly ask why it is necessary to burn the internal air chamber?

Good man Respect 2024

Thank you

Little Blueberry people :o) great video , thank you ! I make the six hole by the douzen 20 years ago , but now only one at a time ! . I have also made the 5 holes before and nothing to it , however the 4 hole 2 octave was a great one to discover , unbelievable , I am still working on it . I agree with you almost 100 % of the time , soothingly new to actually hear someone who knows what he is talking about. My most inovative discovery yet is the tappered shoot out Big to small from the wall to the first hole where it then sqeezes in and then back out a little,( tappered inwards) all the way to the last hole where it goes in a little again and then back out and then tappers again down to the bottom usually needing to cone out afterwards for fine tuning . Still learning ... thanks for your video ! PUMPED :O)

To me when I hear you say Blue bear flutes , it sounds like your saying blueberry flutes :o)

Thank you Charlie , excelent video ! I have been making and tuning flutes for long time now and appreciate a good teacher when I see one, remembering tips is key :o) . Hope we can meet in person some day . A Ho !

Love your work!!! You are an angel!!! Are you guys on tik tok??

I am Yaqui and wish I knew how to make these instruments! My local tanf building offers Navajo language courses but so much of native culture has been lost including the connection to the music! Thank you for posting! And ignore the haters. Would love to hear you speak! Now I’m headed to watch your other videos !!

Still handmade your tool perfects the numbers and measurements thanks for all of the tips and smiles you create, God bless.

hi again Charlie , the oxford dictionary says ENLARGE , and clearer is a definite word used a lot in England . hope that helps my friend ,I know most of the time we bastardise a lot of true olde English words for ease of vocalisation lol . cheers again for the video , always learn something new watching you , I love it .

Thank you for sharing, so interesting to know how you tune. I'll never make a flute but I love to understand.

that lovely re cedar flute instantly made the hair on my neck arise , non of the others did , the only other one that still does it to me is the one you crafted for me several yrs ago , it has seen me through some rough and some good times but still lifts me , I have a question please , I have a largish peice of rosewood in a beautiful deep red , before I start cutting it what would be you thoughts on its value as native style flute ? thanks as well for all your videos they truly educational , and very correctly sometimes sarcastic which I love , thanks again Charlie .

This one made me subscribe! Thanks BlueBearFlutes man!

Great class, thank you for the thorough and wise teaching. Even though I'm a professional musician and singer, I'm new at flute and this is helping me to transfer my ability to Native American flute.

Looks and sounds amazing and love the grain. Maybe offer a special order option for different flutes in different woods.
