AmdInside Golden Member. Jan 22, 1, 0 I know the flute used by Picard in the Star Trek episodes Inner Light and Lessons were just props and did not work however I was curious which flute is the real one that was used in the episodes. After all, they had to record the music on some instrument. I kind of wanted to buy one for fun. I was hoping someone might know what the actual flute was. May 3, 3, 0 0. Jan 3, 11, 50 Remember the documentary on the Star Trek props being auctioned off?
And then Patrick Stewart being dumbfounded when he learned how much his flute sold for? Yeah, kind of like that. What the heck? Ig Senior member. Mar 29, 0 0. And seems that is what the musician used to play the music. KillyKillall Diamond Member. Jul 1, 4, 0 0. While seeing it on tour, people often requested for it to be taken out simply for them to touch it, and several of the crew of The Next Generation predicted that it would fetch one of the highest prices of any item.
The design of the Ressikan flute prop was based on various different makes of tin whistle. According to musician Brice Martin, the flute is a non-functional prop, and makes no sound when played.
In , the music of a Ressikan flute could be heard at the end of the teaser trailer for Star Trek: Picard. Memory Alpha Explore. Christopher Pike Number One. James T. If the lower notes break into the upper octave too easily move the fipple plug up, away from the lip. If the upper octave is weak try moving the fipple plug closer. There may also be too much space under the lip. Either bend it further down or replace the fipple plug. As far as the holes go: Larger holes produces sharper notes, smaller holes flatter notes.
Holes further down the flute produce flatter notes. Holes closer to the window produce sharper sounds. Larger holes also produce a louder sound, while smaller holes tend to make a more responsive flute. If the lowest note is flat you'll have to enlarge the foot. Try trimming a little off the bottom side at the end.
You now have a brass and aluminum penny whistle, but it isn't quite a Ressikan flute yet. A few more changes have to be made.
First wrap a little string around the aluminum piece you have connecting your two pieces. Your string should have a small tassel on the end to look like Picard's. Then take a few washers with the same inner diameter as your holes and glue them to the body.
If you don't bend them to fit over the rounded tube you will need a liberal amount of hot glue, but either approach will work. Flat washers I've found actually make a slightly easier to play flute, as they are very easy to completely cover. Do you have any pics of your finished flute? That's my finished flute at the beginning of your article and I can assure you that it's a bit harder than simply glueing a few "washers" to a whistle.
If you had actually built one of these you would know that. I really liked that episode too. If so, can you "name that tune" for me? Composer, different orchestrations, etc.? Links to sheet music is appreciated, but not yet necessary.
A link to any information and description of this piece, or history, is appreciated. Was it specially written just for the episodes? What type of flute s are usually used to play this piece? Anyone know what his musical background or interests may be? I've never been able to describe it to anybody as I've only known one other Star Trek fan in real life , I can't hum, and I don't even know the names of those episodes.
In case nobody knows on this board, I'm debating posting the link on the classical musicians board, but I'm hoping somebody here can at least verify or identify this piece as Picard's or not.
This midi is still very pretty, though. Thanks very much! Author: kenm Author: tp
