length of a tongue and other issues
The beginning of these publications on the flute in G, part of an instrument developed in the nineteenth century and as was customary at the time, English was dimensioned in inches, since the use of the metric system not fully implemented until the second half of the twentieth century as proof, it suffices to recall that the English classical guitar and especially those built throughout his professional life by the great creator D. Antonio Torres Jurado (1812-1892), also used the English inch as the unit of measurement. Going back to earlier times hornpipes, we find two aspects that affect the sizing of the instrument and are first, that the inch, although related to the diameter of the thumb, were different depending on which geographical location was made and another, the interpreter introduced into the mouth the entire tongue and rested his lips on Tudella pirouette. This will bring it up to reveal that especially the Tudella, has undergone major changes over time and especially with the emergence the oboe in the seventeenth century.
The changes on the whole tongue-Tudella, are restricted in length and geometry of the tongue and affect the tone, not so with the Tudella, which mainly affects change in the position of the holes to the body of the instrument and given the small variation proposal, the consequences are irrelevant. Exposed
background, let's cut and sizing of the boards for the tongue, and a recommendation to the length of Tudella, valid for many commercial bagpipes. Cut
couple of boards for the tongue in an amateur production process does not require sophisticated means available or expensive, just takes a little dedication and easy means of obtaining for himself an amateur, and this, the purpose of this article, in the present case is purely amateur and therefore is not essential productivity only want to come out and do a good cut with guaranteed uniformity. It is suitable for development, building support in allowing the same element, fix the most common size used by manufacturers of tabs, dimensions that vary in length, up to 3.5 m / m, keeping in mind that Tudella and tab there is an overlap of 6 or 7 m / m and we can vary, therefore no longer always cane, longer corresponds to the set.
Following this initial purpose, fixed the length of the tongue into 1 ½ inch and also the same for the Tudella. Moment and with the variety of measures of tabs on the market ranging from 34.5 and 38 m / m (average 36.25) in Tudella of 40 m / m, and considering the overlap between the two elements with an average 6.5 m / m, the whole mounted has a length of 69.90 m / m. and therefore if the tab dimension to 1 ½ inches or 38.1 m / m. and also the Tudella and an overlay of ¼ inch or 6.35 m / m., the whole mounted reaches a length of 2 ¾ inches or 69.85 m / m. (Same In both cases, therefore, the increase in the tongue, reducing the Tudella). Finally
propose using the photographs illustrating the article, a support rod by cutting jigsaw and longitudinal limit stop 4 position, with the possibility of cutting the same, 38, 37, 36 and 35 m / m, so that amateur willing to follow this proposal, which meets your needs.
