on 11/15/2009 Thanks for putting this great and instructive series up here. I have been wondering how to make this type of flute, and now know.

on 8/2/2008 I am not only new here, but very new to flute making, and even newer at playing the instrument. after viewing all of the clips here, I believe that a 7th and possibly 8th (top rear) hole could be made and tuned so that you in fact create an 8-holoe chanter. I am not bad at woodworking so will invest in a round chisel and maybe some good dry pine to get started.
Thanks for a great series.
