Thanks for your attention

Using the saw, cut the PVC pipe to the desired lenght. A 30 cm pipe works well for a basic flute.

1. CUT THE PIPE

Use the marker and then the drill, to mark where you will drill the holes for the finger placements. Typically, a flute has six to eight finger holes.

Mark the holes

Cut a small piece of cork and hollow it slightly to fit one end of the PVC tube. Take care with the cutter.

Make the mouthpiece

Insert the cork into one end of the tube. This will act as the mouthpiece.

Assemble the flute

Ensure it's secure, and adjust it if needed to create a proper mouthpiece.

Assemble the flute

Blow gently into the flute and adjust the size and placement of the holes if necessary to achieve the desired pitch.
