Description

Head to make a transverse style overtone flute (or any other transverse flute with a flipple).

Fitted for a 16mm PVC (IRL) tubing, Friction fit, should slide on the PVC tube and be airtight.

The blow hole is not aligned with the flipple so the sound isn't aimed directly at you ear when you play (overtone flute can be pretty loud).

I chose the transverse format as it is easyer to reach the en of a long tube when hold like that rather than directly in fron of you.

On an overtone flute there is no hole, you vary the sound by varying the speed and pressure of air (blow more or less to simplify).

This is EU thing, right? What do you think will happen if I scale it for US imperial tubing?

The designer has replied

@Ialohrr

Yes it's the EU thing. I unfortunately cannot test it, but normally if you scale it uniformly it should work, at long as you do not make it much bigger/smaller. If you do it and it works, you should make a print profile for it.

@Torasfishroom

did you ever make this?

@Torasfishroom

i printed it out and never could get it to make any sound. any tips?

The designer has replied

@Ialohrr

check if you have air leaking somewhere (too thin walls can let air go through), too short of a tube won’t work too, finally check that the small tube between the blow hole and the sound hole is free and not clogged (it must have very few air resistance) and for last be sure you’re blowing in the right hole too ;)
