@@BDWoodruffmusic thanks Brandon! I’ve been enjoying working with bamboo and adding the mouthpieces. 🌒

@@manymoonsflutes Bamboo flutes continue to hold a special place for me as well. Enjoy!

@@BDWoodruffmusic thanks Brandon! I had some requests for 528’s. This was one from that series. I believe they wanted that frequency so it would match their singing bowls. 🙏

@@MikeSteinert-ip2bf thank you Mike! I think you will love this one too! 🙏🙏🙏🌔

That means so much! Thank you! 🙏🪷🪶🌒🌙

@@timswoodendeavors it’s very doable! Quite a simple instrument to learn but satisfying to play!

Do it! You won't regret it

@@BDWoodruffmusic Creating branch flutes is on my mind.

@@naiman4535 wow love the comparisons and connections! Now I’m curious about these zithers. Will look them up! Yeah that flute has a great tone… 🙏🪶

Thanks very much! This one is still available along with a few others! 🙏🪶

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks Brandon!

@@manymoonsflutes Loving this flute more each time I play it! I'll have to try and record something this weekend. Thanks again!!

@@BDWoodruffmusic so glad to hear it Brandon! 🙏🙏🙏 it’s a special one! Thank you again!!

Thanks very much! It’s currently my favorite as well 🙏🪶

Thank you 🙏🪶

Thanks so much! It plays all the way through 2, and a player better than me could maybe go a little into the 3rd octave 🙏

@@manymoonsflutes that's really amazing! It's the first time I see a shakuhachi made of branch, and not of bamboo, and it sounds and looks gorgeously. Was it hard to tune it across both octaves? I thought it was really challenging on branch flutes due to their curviness. Really amazing!

@@elanulv_flutes thank so much! This one worked out well. I have tried other branch shakus that didn’t tune right so I’m still working on making them consistent… I think if the bore tapers slightly smaller towards the bottom it helps keep the second octave from being flat… so when you carve you can leave the walls a little thicker at the bottom. I have a good formula for placing the holes that I can share with you if you want. 🙏🙏🪶

Thank you ☺️🍑

Thank you! Really appreciate it! 🙏🙏 It would be an honor. I have a lot of new ones on the way. Different woods.

One of my favorite keys as well. Often overlooked. 🙏🙏🙏🪶

Thank you! 🙏🪶

Thanks very much! 🙏

Thanks so much! I was really pleased with this one!

I like the look and sound of your C# sycamore branch too@@manymoonsflutes

@@BDWoodruffmusic thanks! That’s actually one of my favorites of late. There’s something about it…. 🙏

Thank you! 🙏🙏🦅

Thank you so much for listening! 🙏❤️

Thanks so much! This was recorded very simply into an iPhone 15 with GarageBand, and some reverb added 🙏

I agree… love those unusual keys. And thank you 🙏🙏🪶

You are kind… thank you so much 🙏🪷

Thank you so much! 🙏🪶

I think that fairly true. Usually condensation will build up in about 20-30 minutes and start to affect the sound. You can always just remove the block and dry out the channel and keep playing. Also different environments make a big difference. Cold humid place and it can build up moisture in no time. The effect is the same on all woods. Worth noting that bamboo can swell if it gets too wet. 🙏

It’s actually a tuning hole - rather than shorten the flute I add a hole so that I can keep the bottom node. It adds quite a bit of strength and helps prevent cracking 🙏

@@manymoonsflutes thanks!
