Wonderful! Good stuff

Brilliant!! I remember you saying a while back about a McDonald's straw flute. So glad you achieved this!!

beautiful. i did see a man playing a feather. a real feather. much respect

That was so cool. I would feel it would take someone with your experience ro make a flute that small 😇🙏👍👍

Wow! How delicate and fun!

Wow That is amazing! Just knowing that exists makes me happy 😊

beautiful

That's so cute and extremely cool - perfect little ppl flute. I feel like it would be small even for an adult little one

Awesome work Charlie!😁👍

Such a lovely sound!

I am getting more interesting in what I would term "folk" instruments...like the Scandinavian tagelharpa (essentially a cello)...but I love your native flutes! In a few years, when I start working, I will probably begin collecting various sizes and types (drone, triple, walking stick, bass, etc)

Very cool!

I really like it 😆

I’ve also been interested in the stories of the little people. It seems to be a worldwide phenomenon! Japan, Hawaii, Africa, America, Europe, etc. Fun fact: there was actually a real “Pygmy race” in Africa for a time, but unfortunately, I think they were all killed. Edit: turns out they’re still alive. Look them up!

I am hoping to be in touch with little people here in Mexico(happened in Kauai) meanwhile the geckos have the run of the place 😊💕

Check out Flautas Kaypora on KZfaq! He makes the smallest native american flutes I've seen and they sound spectacular

All I'm saying is that if you decided to sell these, i'd buy it.

Daniel Menighan on Facebook may have been inspired by this flute, as he just recently made a 5 hole flute very small, about this length maybe infinitesimally fatter, with holes wrapped around the sides to fit them all :) you have a lot of effect on this world. The pic is here facebook.com/photo/?fbid=3452983731476684&set=pcb.3352038661573314 there is a video of him playing it in the Native American Flute Making Forum on FB but it's not on youtube so I don't know how to post it anywhere but FB

Hot needle... smart...

would hydrangea stems make any type of a substitute for river cane? i know the stems don't get huge but they do grow in a range of widths.

@BlueBearFlutes i live in northern maine, . i went to a music store and bought 4 flutes... 2 play . 2 i THINK arent finished . 1 is indian with no plug but has the finger holes ,ill question you about that at another time.... right now , i have a bamboo flute playes very high notes , the bamboo is arched aka bowed...it has 6 finger holes , open hole bore...is the arch intentional for this flute? or does it need to be straightened? i dont know anything about them..but want to learn..thank you for all your videos. i ran across you quite a long time ago, and now subbed to the channel to learn..i was thinking since bamboo is a water loving plant , i was considereing steaming it and slowly straightening out..but not sure , if this arch was intentional for the tones whats your thoughts? hope you have a great wkend ;];];] thank you for all that you do;];];]

I'm teaching myself how to make mini flutes. Any tips or videos to look at?

I made one longer but just as thin... wouldn't play though... I gotta try again.

Do you have instructions for us to make one ourselves, or can we buy these from you?

So small Charlie.

@5:00 to skip the incessant blathering for a bit and hear the very airy, high pitched, impractical flute.
