I just finished my first try at a flute, made from a deer leg bone that my girlfriend found in the woods. It plays a scale from C to G, with a B bellow the C if I cover the bottom end halfway, and a G# if I overblow it. The tuning's not bad (surprisingly).







And here's a sound clip (I'm not playing a tune, just messing around and seeing what the flute can do): www.andrewwelton.com/boneflute/boneflut ... around.mp3

It was a lot easier to make than I thought it would be. Here's the tutorial I used (not very detailed): http://housebarra.com/EP/ep02/17vinstr.html

Now I've got to learn some tunes!

That's all sorts of awesome! Thanks for posting the tutorial, this looks like something fun to try out.

Love it!

In college we had a totally different item in mind when we talked about the 'bone flute'.

Still, beautiful work.

That's waaaaaay cool.......Well done.

Want to try a few more? I can get you a few dozen spares, right quick...

Well done as always, Alric!
