You could even dispense with making drawings! Unless it is a "design" patent, and in this case you do not file "principles", but a real design : in this case, everything (dimensions, angles, etc.) must be actual.<br /><br /UkeHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175787452954907320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-56099190440096025992012-09-25T13:18:54.664+02:002012-09-25T13:18:54.664+02:00@UkeHeidi:

As far as I am able to reproduce the original design, I'm happy. And anyway, my second Nasalette plays well (softly, but nicely)... wait for the 3rd part :)<br /><br />UkeHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175787452954907320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-72232090619521583502012-09-25T09:20:37.836+02:002012-09-25T09:20:37.836+02:00@ Summer Johnson : Thank you very much for your co...<br />@ Summer Johnson : Thank you very much for your comment! I'm glad you appreciate my work. You know, a marching band would be the perfect place for playing the nose flute...<br />If you want to get one, I recommend you a "Bocarina" (you can faind them on Ebay, at GrothMusic, DanMoi, etc.) : it's the perfect model : cheap (in price), beautiful and ergonimical, and... a greatUkeHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175787452954907320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-31104350869305974082012-09-25T05:47:00.786+02:002012-09-25T05:47:00.786+02:00This is fantastic!.

May need a little voicing or fine tuning with a little tweaking, as is often done with tin whistles. Things like pinching the windway and/or bending the labium a bit should be easy to do.<br /><br />For example see:<br /><br />http://Don Luishttp://donluispersonalwebsite.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-16738254613927255552012-09-25T01:55:39.615+02:002012-09-25T01:55:39.615+02:00Everything about this blog fascinated me.
