That's very cool, nice sound I bet. 8)

(Wish I was more musical too, I tried learning harmonica but only managed to reach the level of annoying people around me :-\).

Thanks! Didn't know Jetro Tull, always appreciate input.

Bubby, sorry, videos are past my tech Level quite a bit.
Gutshot: It sounds nice, warm and loud, bu it's quite bitchy to play. But then, i'm not much of a musician on flutes, either.
I suspect that the distance of the end plug to the sound hole is a bit too long, about 2.25 times the diameter. The tuning of the holes is really spot on, but the upper register is a little bit flat, as on most flutes made from natural tube.

Jodocus I'm showing my age a bit here. I believe the original  Jethro Tull was the English version of America's John Deere. I believe he invited agricultural equipment. The Jethro Tull I'm referring to is a "Classic Rock Band" that used his name. If you google Jethro Tull and listen to Locomotive breath when he gets to the wind instrument you'll know what I'm referring too. Not sure if you'd like it but is snappy and catchy if you like that sort of music. Once again beautiful job on that flute.

Jethro Tull is one of my all time favorites. I got to see them live in Atlanta and at the Palm Beach Pop Festival in 1970.
I always thought Jethro Tull was from old English lit.   :-\

Very cool! You are a artist Jodocus, always enjoy seeing your work.
I'm with bub on Marshall Tucker Band. Was just listening to some last weekend, " Heard it in a love song" & "In my own way"
2 great songs that really relax me when I hear them.
