Re: [Shaku] Dissident harmonic bore correctionHi Ed...

Thank you for the very kind offer... I do have a printout of the chart =
and John's bore comments. It has been very helpful in my learning. =
Since the flute is so close right now, I think I will add a coat of =
lacquer to establish a new reference point--it is presently still raw =
plaster, and will be easier for me to play around with some more =
newspaper after a pigmented sealer coat (easier to see, possibly undo =
minute changes).

Thanks again!

:)

Derek

  Dang! It's no biggy, but I intended to send that reply off-list--I =
don't like that default reply to the list--I dutifully copied your =
address.....then forgot to paste it in before I sent.

  Anyway, do let me know. The file size for the whole shebang is 580KB =
if you want it and that's not a problem for you. Three pages of =

    Howdily...

    For any bore masters that would be willing to share a tiny tidbit of =
knowledge, I have a jiari 1.8 in the works with one final weakpoint I =
have been unable to correct.

    I can push Ro through the 3rd octave and all are perfectly in tune =
and beautifully resonant. The one problem is the 5th harmonic that =
appears (overtones to the key of A) between the 2nd and 3rd octave Ro, =
when jumping octaves, all holes closed... it is about 30 cents flat, and =
I can not find a pressure point(s) for this overtone. In my limited =
experience, my first thought was an imperfect taper, though every other =
note and overtone on the flute is perfect, well into the 3rd octave. It =
is just this ONE overtone that is slightly flat.

    Can anyone guide me on a possible path to explore for a correction, =
or a vague location of any pressure points associated with this note?

    Very many thanks!

    :)
