Craft Update: Recycled Aluminum Spiral Necklace

Recently I acquired a large amount of salvaged wire from my Dad. Most of it was copper, but some of it was aluminum wire from an old lightning rod system. The first piece I've made using this wire is a chainmaille spiral necklace.

I've got a new project in mind.

I plan to make a simple system flute.

After having looked over my wife's flute and realizing that the keys are completely unlike my penny whistle, I knew I could never play the thing. However, a simple system flute uses the same fingering system as a penny whistle.

I've found several sets of instructions for these flutes, on the interwebs. Tomorrow I will procure the materials and begin the design process.
