I've got 7 flutes. I started with a C. My mother couldn't stand the pitch. So then I got a G, she didn't like that either. Then I decided to get a low D, she doesn't complain as much, but still does. She should be grateful that I didn't take up the bagpipes. I've got one double in a C. I've just ordered my 1st drone in an F.
I live in Brazil and recently I bought a low Eb drone Flute. It's amazing, I play it every day, it feels like it was made for my hands, but I know what you mean, people that I know people that have smaller hands than mine have a hard time playing it. And I spent (and still spend) a good amount of time practicing it.
You were so gentle to talk about how people misunderstanding the Native American flute in the past. I don’t think people will argue with you about that.
Hey Brother! I purchased couple of Native American Flute from You. Spoke with you regarding the the small A flute I got for my wife. You were super cool to speak with very open to answer my questions and just a pleasure all around. Felt more like getting advise from a friend than anything else!! Looking forward in the future to get that bad boy liw C drone! Sounds incredibly beautiful!! Blessings to you and your family and happy Holidays Brother!!
Thank you for another wonderful video. Several years ago you started me on my flute making journey. I watched your videos and purchased your book. It is a wonderful hobby. I even made a drone flute in Am. It’s my wife’s favorite. It will probably be my only one, as getting it tuned perfectly was tough! I have pictures of my flutes on Adams Flutes on facebook. Again thank you for beginning my flute making adventure.
Hey Charlie, I had to think about the drone flute that will suite me best. I do love the fifth drones with the higher B. That is a good strong sound. Thanks, Tom
ALYUHAUUHA BE ESTEEMED Thank you for this video my family are looking into purchasing a kuzhal flute I trust is what’s it is called. The one we are looking I purchase is similar to some of the ones presented here.

Thanks Charlie great to make your acquaintance via the internet. Your flutes look amazing. I have placed an order for a low D drone and look forward to it arriving here in Australia thank you 🙏🏽. I have large hands a love of flutes and a commitment to learning 😌😊☺️
Good question. I’m sure I've mentioned it before in several other videos, but it is how this instrument evolved more than 3000 years ago from its even older ancestors. If you want to know more about how the flute works please check out my other videos! Thanks for watching! 🙂
Humidity is usually one of the last possible problems. It is still possibly a problem however. Please see my troubleshooting video on drones and contact me through my website if it doesn't solve your issue.
great videos, however I tried using your website and your website is so chaotic and very poorly optimized for anyone visiting. it's a headache to use. Definitely could use some improvement
@@bluetrust2002 I wish his website was working (his about page refers to it), I'm sure there would be some timeless words of wisdom there, too! We need more people dropping it like that!
Very nice description of the many different types and keys of Drone Flutes.
5:26 - High C Flute
10:18 - A Flute
10:50 - A Drone
12:07 - G Drone
13:55 - Low D Flute

17:53 - Aztec 5th Drone
What about minute 21? That was my fave. Thanks
@@diannaflutes that's the A Drone from 10:50
Was getting really frustrated that he wasn't playing any.
My ADHD brain was getting really strained. 😂

I have one of your G drone flutes here on the Isle of Wight.. ( small island off the south coast of England ) absolutely love it.
Looking forward to visiting there as soon as possible too!

Really helpful video :) Could you advise where to get sheet music for the A key drone flute?
just a simple question. WHY the block,when no other flute/whistle/recorder needs one?

Hello @BlueBearFlutes Is it possible to save a Drone flute that absorbed humidity? 😵 (weather) mine sounds really bad, any suggestion please?
Humidity is usually one of the last possible problems. It is still possibly a problem however. Please see my troubleshooting video on drones and contact me through my website if it doesn't solve your issue.
Thank you so much !
Thank you for this video, you have just answered the questions I've emailed you ;-)
Very helpful video which has saved me from some expensive errors (why is it all my errors turn out to be expensive ?🤣🤣). Thanks!
😁😁😁😁
