Fully printable, No other hardware or gimmicks. This Slide flute is easy to print and easy to play.. not only that, it sounds good and is loud..

Make in multiple colors for a PRIDE flute!

With practice you can master the Lotus and play music. Without the Slide you can have a two tone “coo-coo clock“ bird sound by opening and covering the bottom hole without the piston slide installed. This assembles without glue or adhesive. Fipple to cylinder is snug and piston in cylinder is snug as well but will loosen as used.You can make it with only 3 parts, or add in extensions between Fipple and Bottom

I worked for days on the fipple until I finally got the angle and cuts to produce the sound. It was definitely a wonderful challenge to design, create and print.

Hope you enjoy.. released this design under GPL 3… if you modify, or copy
