Bamboo Panflutes, flamed bamboo
(For an enlarged view of the pictures please click on the small pictures.)

Here you find illustrations of different Ulitza bamboo panflutes in standard sizes. The flutes are made of "yellow Chinese bamboo", the socket of different types of wood. The bamboo is flamed in a special process, which gives the tubes even more density and the sound more overtone wealth.

Reissued old design:
(For an enlarged view of the pictures please click on the small pictures.)

Following a dear customer from Taiwan had seen an old picture on the Internet of an Ulitza panflute with a special painting of the socket, he was so in love with this design that he persuaded me to make two flutes in the old style. I took this as an opportunity to officially include this variant in the panflute program again. The socket is made of painted maple and the base of mahogany, see pictures of the first two flutes with this socket! No extra costs for this version!

NEW: Tonking-Bamoo stained:
(For an enlarged view of the pictures please click on the small pictures.)

I have these flutes new in my range! At the moment I only offer them as alto pan flutes, as 22 tubes from G1-G4. The price would be the same as the corresponding unflamed bamboo pan flute. Tonking bamboo has long been one of the most important types of bamboo in pan flute making. It is almost always circular in cross-section, slightly conical, and is characterized by particularly wide node spacing. With the right choice of tubes and intelligent processing, excellent pan flutes can be made from it. Here are the first examples:


G1 - G4 Alto Flute
Tonking-Mahogani-dark
Socket: birdseye-maple+walnut

G1 - G4 Alto Flute
Tonking-Mahogani-light
Socket: birdseye-maple+walnut

Sockel: Larch+Mahagoni

 

Types of wood for the socket:
(For an enlarged view of the pictures please click on the small pictures.)

For the socket of a flute, I like to use two different types of wood, which show a clear difference in color. This creates, as you can see above, a beautiful wooden stripe through the double base. Here you can take a closer look at my usual wood selections. In general, I think that with light flutes a dark socket, and with dark flutes (flamed bamboo) a light socket are particularly suitable. If you want a different and maybe special type of wood, I will gladly try to get them because I have an excellent wood dealer close by.
