I asked Kevin Crawford about it after a concert in California a little while after this thread ended. He knew exactly what I was talking about and showed me how he does it on the pen he was using to sign my copy of his CD at the time. He plays the B Flicks his index finger off to the side away from ...

He's playing his Eb Watson flute, his Murray is on the ground underneath the chair.

Not here, nor do I think it should ... but it is a real thing =)

There's a standard naming convention that makes a lot of sense ... The actual concert pitch note that comes out when you finger a 'c' on your instrument is the name. It has nothing to do with the lowest note or the easiest key to play on the instrument. Bb Trumpet - You play a written 'C' and a 'Bb'...

Terry,

I find the vast majority of your posts informative and helpful and I admire your passion for the music and instruments themselves. No need to leave a board which you clearly enjoy being a part of and which clearly enjoys having you be a part of it.

This one little observation neatly sums up my own unceasing wonder at certain responses to this topic. None so blind... I would say many, if not the majority of your posts in this thread have been condescending little comments about your disbelief of others, puns and movie quotes. I personally don'...

My logic in proposing this test was based on George's resistance to the idea that more turns increases the force applied to the tenon. Since that force is limited by the breaking strain of the thread, it seemed likely to me that showing the breaking strain of a mass of threads is far higher than on...

This whole discussion reminds me of teaching pulleys and vector forces to students, in the end the only way to get most people to understand (and note I did not say all) was to provide hands on demonstrations - such as the one where I had a couple of the smaller students pull a pickup truck with it...

I believe your on the right track. It doesn't matter if the 150 wraps (w/13 layers) covers 9.42cm^2 or 1 wrap (w/13 layers) covers .0628cm^2. The only real question is how to properly determine if the layers add, multiply, or even only add a factor of force to the inner most PSI. Thanks a lot for t...

My point is that it would hurt more! No your point was that it'd have less pressure, the opposite of hurting more. Look you just said it - Um, increasing the area of the pinch will keep the same force but reduce the pressure. *Same force* with a higher pressure hurts more, with a lower pressure hur...

Um, increasing the area of the pinch will keep the same force but reduce the pressure. Yes that's the point! Why do you maintain that adding loops to the length of a thread wrap is any different than increasing the area of the pinch? They're both applying a constant force by tension over an increas...

You don't need to make a tenon to see that there's not massive pressure being created. Take 5min and wrap some thread around your finger. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae64/leprechaundicipline/Thread%20Thread/Photoon2011-01-22at13102.jpg According to Terry's method of adding up force this is pu...

In the strangled flute example, the tenon was 15mm long, and about 20mm in diameter. So the area would be PI x r2 x L = 3.1412 x 1 x 1.5 = 4.7 sq cm I'm don't remember where I grabbed the 14cm number, copied the wrong number. But you solved for volume not for lateral area which would be 4.7cm3 not ...

No. And I think we've taken this as far as we can, and we're just going to have to agree to differ. Stop any time you like and I'll do the same, no harm no foul. I think because the force is being applied by string tension and not weights it's confusing you. Obviously if you were stacking 600g weig...
