Thanks Mike, it's a good thing I didn't throw the paper away yet! I found the note with the scales on it thanks. I can imagine how your Mother felt. When I lived in the Virgin Islands for awhile, when I first got there, I enjoyed the steel drums, then I got sick of them.
The main problem that I am having is reaching the holes, and being able to cover them, and still being able to put the mouth piece up to my mouth. Like I said earlier, I really love this flute, and the inlays. As for the inlays, did you say, you used crushed turquoise for that, mixed in an epoxy? I was thinking as I was going over it, that it would look cool with an even line going the length of the flute, on each side along the seam, up to the just before the mouthpiece, or the flue, and maybe another ring around the flute ending the line. I am thinking that you could make narrow line like the inlay ring. Heck you could even put an effigy, in front of the flue, in an inlay. Man when I saw the inlay, My mind started taking off. Yeah, Eddie, it does that a lot.
Most of the times it comes back.
But anyway, I started seeing all kinds of possibilities with that,not just on the flute.
So what kind of epoxy are you using? But again the wait was well worth it! Thanks again. It is like a new toy, I keep picking it up and admiring it, and trying to play it. ; As the big hairy side kick to Marvin the Martian, (Buggs Bunny Cartoons) would say, I will love it, and hug it, and I will call it George.
Have you gotten your Son into this also? Might be a good Scout project.
