made more shellac for treating sunflower flutes. Shellac works well with this material, as it seals the porous outside and inside. For bamboo flutes I use only walnut oil. My Sunflower flutes get a treatment with walnut oil also after the layers of shellac are applied. I use copal laquer in Isopropanol also on sunflower flutes before I start burnng the holes (last picture). With no lacquer added before tuning, the pitch would be as much as a semi tone too high in the end. #shellac #makingshellac #schellack #kremerpigmente #copal #copallaquer #flutemaking #flutemaker #sunflowerflutes #flutelacqeur https://www.instagram.com/p/B-vGu7xg_o8/?igshid=b663hbdvfg7v
