My bamboo flute

I think it is a Carnactic bamboo flute. One of my 365 friends has a husband who makes flutes and I was trying to find her amongst the pictures of the last few days! It appears to be impossible as nothing is alphabetical or with words you can choose to search. I haven't learnt to play it yet and only make weird hooting sounds!

Awesome

[Jason Daniels]

Owl Flute?

[Maggiemae]

Not quite that hoot, Jason! @bobfoto More of a strangulated owl!

[cheryl]

LOL. love the comments. This is a beauty Maggie!

[David Pryde]

I'm sure all the best started out with the same warbled sounds - you can only get better. I like your choice of black on black to highlight the rich red and white colours on the instrument.

[Deb]

Nice picture! You are a hoot :)

[bkb in the city]

Very cool

[Kelly]

Nicely done Maggie and I am sure you are underestimating your ability!

[Tony]

Nice capture Maggie. It is a very elegant looking instrument - is it Japanese ??

[Lisa]

Lovely flute! Great shot, nice lighting

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Nice flute, nice picture. Soon you'll be warbling instead of hooting.

[Frida]

Lovely instrument, the colours are fab and it's your photo that does it justice really beautifully taken!

[Maggiemae]

@tonydebont I think it is Indian, Tony!

[Maggiemae]

@frida Thanks Frida - it will star as a picture rather than an instrument!

[karenann]

It's just beautiful ...looks like a piece of art!! Love the photo ...wonderful colors and clarity.

[Yvonne]

What a beautiful looking instrument. How many instruments do you play?
I have no doubt you will be making beautiful music in no time at all!

[Karen bable]

Great contrasting colours in this shot.

[Tony]

@maggiemae Thanks Maggie, I guess it was the black lacquered look that had me thinking Japan. Hope you get to enjoy playing it.

[Maggiemae]

@tonydebont well actually, Tony, it was my Japanese family who gave it to me and it does have that look but it is an 8 holed flute played like flute rather than a recorder. I think they got it on an Asian trip and thought, oh well give this to Mum! Mum (me) doesn't know how to purse her lips to produce the sound! Yet!

[Peter de Graaff]

A work of art

[Chris]

I always love to hear the sound of bamboo flute. Beautiful capture!

[Maggiemae]

@peterdegraaff I think I've made this poor flute into a neat picture which I really like! Now I've got this idea I have to learn to play it!

[Maggiemae]

@chrismarfil do you know it, Chris? I haven't produced any sound that makes sense! It's the sound that puts cobras into trances!

[Maggiemae]

@catwoman2 I wish, Mary! I can produce something that sounds like a thrush, whistling through its teeth, if it had teeth!

[Chris]

@maggiemae Oh, that's interesting i saw some tv show using flute to calm down a cobra, and yeah into a trance.

[Maggiemae]

@chrismarfil now at this moment, Chris - there is a cobra under the couch! If only I knew how to play!@cromwell might know!

[Abhijit]

wow, like this one

[michelle mcintyre]

@bobfoto Hehe

[michelle mcintyre]

Beautiful flute - my ... daughter played for about 8 years ...the first year was horrible, loved the sound after that though!!

[richard saffold]

hook your camera up to it and do two things at once.

[tony gig]

Fabulous shot, looks great against the black background.

[Rick Schies]

Well it should be fun learning to master this, and you will have the whole town to follow you around.

[Mick]

The lighting you've put on it makes it look so much more 21st century than something made from baboo! :)

[Gillian]

It's a beautiful instrument and I'm sure you'll master it soon. Great shot.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, it's a beautiful instrument and even if you can't play it, it makes for a great picture!

[Rashella]

neat photo!

[Sheila]

Bet that has an amazing haunted sound!

[Maggiemae]

@swguevin It might if I could get a sound to sound! Pursed lips and blowing only produces a slight wheeze!
