PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
Flutes a simple fingering system, similar to a penny-whistle, in tune over two octaves. The tenor size is my attempt at a traditional Irish flute. The tenor and soprano are in D, while the alto is in G. These have ranges one octave above the corresponding singing voice. The bore is tapered.
As these flutes are larger than most 3D printers can print, they are provided in segments that if printed in ABS plastic can be welded together with acetone.
*Version 2, December 2013: Thicker end so flutes balance better in the hands. Larger embouchure holes for soprano and alto sizes. Socketed as well as weldable versions.*
