Native American Flute, over blow sound?
When making a native style wooden flute, twice I have had great success until the last hole on a six hoe flute. When I try to tune the sixth hole I can get the key, or close, then it will over blow and squeak. What is causing this?? The flute is on KEY and tuned to scale until the sixth hole.
I am not sure what else I can add. I want an f# and when I blow it goes to an F# and then, immediately, I get a squeak like a finger not on a hole correctly, then a G# or an A. I cannot change this by blowing softer or harder. Hope this helps a bit..

There is no simple answer to your question as many factors can influence the overblow. There is a Yahoo group called nativeflutewoodworking@yahoogroups.com where - after you join - you can access files of information and ask questions of experienced flute makers.
