3D-printed flutes hit new notes | Researchers have found a way to 3D print instruments that produce notes unattainable through traditional instruments.
Hand-crafted instruments are all well and good, but the precision of 3D printing is starting to unlock new sounds.
Leading a team of researchers from the University of Wollongong in Australia, Dr Terumi Narushima took the existing mathematical models used to determine how various notes are produced by wind instruments, and created a 3D model of a flute that – due to its customised diameter, length, and hole placement – produced unique microtonal notes smaller than a semitone.

This is all fine and dandy until you watch the video and you find out "Terumi Narushima" is female. :)
I know I am not God, because every time I pray to Him, it's because I'm not perfect and thankful for what He's done.

I fail to see the problem....
Sorry folks...the world is bigger and more varied than you want it to be. Deal with it.

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."
