The aim is to cut it so that there is a node at the end and another node more or less in the middle.In other words, there should be a little more than 7 inches of tube between each node. For instance, if you want a 14 inch flute, the nodes should be a little more than 7 inches apart from each other.Choose a section of bamboo with joints that are a little bit more than half as far apart as the intended length of the instrument. For an F flute, cut it to 18 inches, and for a key of D cut it to 21 inches. To make a flute that plays in the key of A, cut a 14 inch length of pipe. The length of the pipe determines the key that it plays.
