Tsuur flute by Sam C=' with vocal drone- self made from flower stem

Improvisation sur une flute de type tsuur (mongolie), avec bourdon vocal, fabriquée à partir d'un tige d'ombellifère, comme le sont les flutes mongoles originelles.

Improvisation on self made tsuur flute (mongolia), with vocaldrone. Made out of umbelifer flower stem, as were made the ancient mongolian instruments.

I started making these kind of flute about 2 years ago. I've been quite lucky with this one, as the shape of the stem seem to be quite OK to get upper notes. It respond quite well, to my taste, even if it's very different from the wooden mongolian tsuur I own.
Hope you'll like this. C='

@Iver : I think the flute should give most of the overtone, in fact combined with the voice, some frequencies should be enhanced. Narantsogt seem to use a quite soft voice, letting the flute sound, as you said, stronger.

@Axel : Nice to see your work !

Hallo,
two clips from the fluting today. The narrow flute is more difficult.

I can feel the work you've done since the last recording I heard, Iver. Yes my flutes are more difficult to play, and wind from the breath usually stronger. It warm me to see and hear you play it.

Hi, yeah ney practice has been a help for playing tsuur but it will take me somemore tries to improove the sound of voice and flute together. I will make some various sizes of tsuur the next days

I want to make a PVC Tsuur, but I'm not sure what measurements I should use still. I'm told trial and error will yield good results, but I want a starting point nonetheless.

La renouée du Japon marche bien aussi ! Attention en la coupant, c'est une plante invasive qui se multiplie à partir de le moindre branche coupée. On la trouve en bord de rivière.

There you can find videos which explain how to blow in a tsuur-like flute from Iran, the ney. This website also provides measurements to construct your own ney in PVC.

Have fun and thank you Kees van den Doel for creating this website.

I recommand you to listen to some persian ney, it's really intense.

Hello Sam !
Je viens de m'inscrire sur le post.
Toujours en train de batailler avec la Tsuur , pas encore trouvé comment sortir un son avec... mais je l'aurais la coquine , je l'aurais ! J'ai pas encore capté le role de la langue dans l'histoire , mais je trouverai bon sang ! Pour l'instant , tout ce qui sort , c'est du souffle ... le vent des steppes , quoi ! ;)
Bises , et encore merci pour cette belle flute !

Salut Steph,
Ca viendra, ce n'est pas une facile, celle là... Avec ton ney (pas ton nez...), tu fais comment ? Pas de placement particulier de la langue ?

Comment by Stef Calmar on April 26, 2012 at 1:50pm

En fait , c'est un ney syrien ( type egyptien , turc ,etc... ) pas iranien... du coup la langue n'intervient pas , sauf pour l'articulation standard des flutes habituelles ...
