Personally, I don`t believe in ghost as people term them in stories and such. I do however believe ghost exist as misrepresented entities or simply put, (being slandered) :shock: . Why, I myself as an example have been misrepresented by what I believe to be a Ghost or two. I think these ghost cause ...

Oh my! Of course you don't pivot the hand while playing! I am not confused st all! And that is certainly not I was trying to explain! I was trying to explain exactly what you just explained. I don't understand the confusion :shock:. I'll re-read my posts to see where it lies. I've played low D's pr...

With conical bores, the holes have to be smaller. Small as the cone steepens untill the limit gets reached and you end up with a Clarke. But that's OK too because you can reign-in the super-loud second octave. The holes get made big to move them down the tube - that's handy if you want to fit your ...

Boy, we're having some fun now. Messing with all these variables at once makes my head spin. But getting them all to happy values is the the point, so they all need to be messed with. Greg, interesting application of Phi here. I'm not quite able to follow your drawing and comments. You start with a...

The resulting spread of holes has again nothing to do with the Golden Proportion. I aim to have somewhat equal distances between holes 1, 2 and 3, as between holes 4, 5 and 6. This is of course a big "somewhat", and usually a compromise between equal spacing and acoustically efficient spa...

Pluck a string on a guitar, and search for the harmonics by lightly touching the string without making it touch the frets and you will find pure Fibonacci and 1.618 relationships. A guitar string is not much different then the column of air in your whistle....Hence the fret board is also layed out ...

and from me..

Best Wishes,
