Hi everyone.
I´m getting older trying to find plans or drawings for the keyless irish flute with the right locations for the 8 holes and conical bore ratio.
Could anyone help me??
thanks indeed

Far as I know, there are no plans or how-to procedures, as these measurements differ from flute to flute. You might be able to find some specs on antique flutes, as they are copied by some historical makers fairly rigorously. Check Terry McGee’s site, or talk to Terry himself, as he seems to wallow in studies on specific flutes and their measurements.
Thanks a lot gordon.
Amazing site that of Mr. Mcgee´s.
I,ve found there some interesting data about the subject.
Where I live(a little village of Spain) is not that easy to find a real irish flute to try to build another.
I´d like to wander a bit with plastic materials before facing woods.I have some ideas to reduce gradually the inner diameter but they don´t look pretty at all(It sounds ok though)
Thanks indeed for your comment.
