You are too kind. Thank you. It was really nice meeting you and I look forward to bumping into you in the future. Perhaps at a ceramics show. Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

I apologize for being so slow to respond. I am not certain that I understand your question completely, but let me give it a shot. On most of my instruments, I create a tube by forming a small (0.5 in. diameter) roll of clay and then forcing something like the handle of a needle tool through it. One end of the tube is left round and shaped into a mouth piece. Into the other end of the tube I insert a flat tool, just larger than a Popsicle stick, stretching the sides of the tube a bit and compressing the top and bottom down onto the tool. That gives me a thin, rectangular airway that is easy to aim/tune toward a fipple/wedge. I make this as a separate piece in order to adjust the airflow as more and more holes are drilled into the instrument.

Does that help?
Paul:)

I am interested to know what your process is for air entering your mugphlutes. I am a ceramics teacher and have been doing whistles for years and years and have not come across the look of yours.

Thanks

I work on a very simple musical level, making whistles. Ocarinas and flutes are things for the future.

I’m not the writing member of the family so I won’t be joining NaNoWriMo. Good luck with the writing….hope is does not stop the blogging! ;)

The larger pieces are headed for a local gallery. I will get a post up just as soon as there is a logical way to do online sales. Thank you so much for your interest!

I stumbled upon your website and I must say your work is great!! And I’m just feeling a bit naive for asking, but do you sell any of your pieces? I’m sure it’s far above my budget if one was to pay fairly, but I am curious.
