Your bes'bev and you....
« on: Oct 30, 2017, 11:04 PM »
There are occasionally folks who really want to add a bes'bev to their kit.  And some of the bes'bev fans really want one that works.  If you, or a Merc you know, has a bes'bev, working or not, can you post in here?  So we can have a sort of central location for anyone looking for tips to get their bes'bev plans off the ground?

If I'm not mistaken Dxun Wraithguard clan ( spain ) has a few members who actually have working bes'bevs and know how to play them well :)

I got a Clarke Sweetone D that I have been meaning to turn into a Bes'shev! I've got to learn how to play the penny whistle first though. But I am working on it as we speak!

I have two. The first one is an "heirloom" one, made from the bone of some creature an ancestor defeated (aka PVC, unplayable).

Second one is a WIP, but working on making it playable.

YAS!!!! I am so glad this is here. I know J'khara Vontess from Manda'galaar has a working one. And I want to make one as well. (Being a flutist, this is a natural step for me.)

I'd love to get an idea of how you made yours, what materials, etc. There's not a lot of tutorials out there. I was thinking bamboo - but thought that may be too earthy. Then there's the concern of what kind of tone you would get from pvc, and there's the whole tuning thing, where the holes have to be just so.  Yeah, so many questions.

I used to have a PVC flute that I made some time ago.... Hrmmm... I don't have it anymore, but this sounds like a good opportunity to bring out my creative skills to make another and... 'age' it with a little bit of this and that.  :D

Well, mine will be here in 8-10 weeks.  There's an Etsy guy that sells custom made ones in either 13 or 17 inch lengths.  Steel with a leather dangly to hook onto your belt... or keychain.  It's not much, but it is a a start.

I'll definitely have to start a picture account on somewhere so I can post pics of the stuff I'm working on without having the Third Party blockage thing pop up.

When you do, use Imgur. Seems to be the easiest site to use.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I definitely will start an account there.  I need to post a few pictures anyways... that don't have any Mandalorian stuff  in them.

It also makes a good deterrant because it's now part of my keychain.  *evil grin*  I think I'm going to keep that one for personal protection and make a PVC one to play. heeheh

Here’s pics of my ‘stabby flute’ and the pieces I used to make it. Mine’s metal - a welder friend taught me how to braise metal to make it.  Fife was from Amazon and the rest from a big box hardware store.

It's not that different from playing the recorder, I imagine.

Really appreciate this as it's something I'd like to make for myself and/or one of my clanmates. I'll let you know when I get something together!

I might end up picking up a recorder, and swapping out parts.
