A drone flute and two double flutes

Drone flutes consist of two parts. One has no finger holes and so plays only one note. The other has finger holes and so one can play a melody on that section. Double flutes also consist of two parts, each with finger holes. Some Native American flutes are drones or double flutes. Double flutes are also common in central and Southeastern Europe. An earlier video in this blog features a Native American drone flute. Here is a drone flute I made from inner corner molding. I started out with a Native American design but glued a piece of bamboo in place for the wood block, thus creating a non-Native variation in design.

Now here is a wood double flute I bought from an ebay seller. I think the instrument was made in Romania.

Now here's a double flute I made. Again, this started off as a Native American design but changed into something else as soon as I used glue instead of tying on a wood block over the sound holes.
