Please read carefully and if you are very interested in this, I hope to hear from you! I wouldn't get hung up on my budget, but in talking with others, I used the low range. I think it's at least on the high end of the range for 3 phases. The hardest bit is getting you familiar with the mechanics of these fairly simple, 5000 year odl instruments. However simple, they are nuanced vary by size, etc..
When it comes to design and engineering, I am out of my league. I'm out of the Universe on that stiff. I need someone to help me in a couple areas as part of a project.
Step 1 - Understand the "mechanics" of the Native American Flute from a Making Perspective. There has to be math and parameters one can follow to achieve a proper result. There's a full online resource dedicated to the topics of Flute Making at Flutopedia.com. In addition, there's even some "building software" there as well as a program called Woodwind Instrument Designer (just google Flute WWID and it will take you to the Java application. However I believe there are enough articles and info/date on Flutopedia for someone that "this stuff" comes natural to. Form there, I need the 3D modeling done for at least 1 "key" of Flute as our prototype/proof of concept. And from there we need to put this into action and make the product.
So, my ask is that you consider 3 phases for you to shoulder the responsibility for.
1 - Research the making of Flutes and try to determine the parameters, dimensions, etc etc to make a functional flute. Apply the mechanical side of your design experience to map out how to make a flute in a mid range musical key.
2 - Come up with a CAD design and related files to be production ready.
3 - Let's get a prototype going and move to next steps. Assuming we succeed in steps 1 and 2! This is somewhat "optional", so if this isn't your area but you can draft the designs to get this done, that's fine too.
The challenge you're going to have and help me solve is defining standard parameters we can use for building these in various keys and various "registers" (low, mid, high). When talking with makers that use wood, they will constantly cite the variable this and that, but it just makes sense to me having some understanding of how things works, that if your model is precise and controlled, reproducing using a tried and true "formula" will work, especially with the types of materials I'm looking to use - possibly injection molding, etc..
Still reading? Cool!
So, as you consider this - know that I will need (and pay, obviously) for your research and learning and, ideally, your ability to break down the concepts that lead to successful tuning of these tubes with holes that make musical sound. They are at once very simple, but also a pretty ingenious design that is 5000 years+ old. So, if you're going to participate, understand we'll be on a bit of a journey together!
I'd suggest you check out some models to get a feel for what I'm talking about. Google "High Spirits Flutes". or "Singing Tree Flutes". Also, I believe I will send a physical flute to you for your examination and frankly for you to fool around with it to get a feel. It's super simple to make noise, even if you're never going to learn it properly. It'll be good to hold it, break it down some and get some dimensions, etc, from a real model.
Still interested and think we can do this? Get in touch and we can talk.
After that, there will likely be more we would need to do. Aesthetic design, functional design options, expanding the offering of "keys" and even mechanical design improvements (and thus, potential for sound and playability improvements). My then ultimate goal is to make these in more exotic scales.
Thanks for making it to the end. Think about it, and if you would like to help, let me know!

(Hi
I'm a Mechanical and Automation Engineer and have gained expertise in all 3 domains of CAx's.)
-------------> The above is my general introduction.
I get only bid per day so I really wanted to invest on this and so for you I'd like to give you a different description:
So apart from being an Engineer, I'm also a novice musician (guitarist - playing for over 7 years now). So I completely understand what you are really up to. I have several times tried to find sometime to make my own guitar but somehow other things come in and I always leave it. Flutes are always fascinating but a difficult instrument to master at.
As per my interest I have been able to work for INV**** AUDIO PVT LTD recently. They are one of the top leaders to design recording rooms and jam-pads, theatres, etc. I have been able to design an acoustic simulation for them wherein they can easily setup a room depending on the application that I built for them.
I'd appreciate if we can have a discussion. Hope we can work together then.
Thanks and regards
Hello Mr. or Mrs,
I was very impressed by your presentation of the project, your extensive explanation is very useful for a medium sized project, I will be attentive if you are interested in my profile as a mechanical engineer, and the issue of time and value, we can review later.
thank you for reading my proposal.
Hi,
You have the archetype of an archaic project :)
As I comprehend, in this project we also need to understand the mathematics between the flute length, shallow diameter, distance between the holes and chamfer angle at the mouthpiece. I believe I can help you with this design. I especially like your task since it requires problem solving skills and understanding a sound generating process; not just pure design.
To give information about my background, I have BSc & MSc degrees in mechanical engineering. I have publications on novel scientific problems published at renowned journals. I worked on similar problems in my education and professional life. Therefore I believe I have the necessary skill set.
Moreover, I highly value the satisfaction on your needs. If you are not content with the results I obtain for you, I will not demand any payment from you. I look forward to your response.
Warm regards
Mehmet

Hello,
I´m very excited with this project.
I believe that my profile could be a good fit for this project. I´m a very curious persons that loves to learn new things and solve problems. I´m also an amateur guitar player. I have played musical instruments since my childhood.
I am a Mechanical Engineer with over 14 years of experience creating products in a wide range of industries such as medical devices, musical instruments, electrical devices, children’s products and toys.
I started my career as an entrepreneur creating musical instruments in composite materials because creating things and making music are two of my biggest passions.
The idea came from a research project where I found a way to custom the sound waves frequency tuning the direction of the filaments of the material.
Starting my career as an entrepreneur has also helped me build my business instincts which have helped me throughout my career.
I have a proven track record of providing end to end product delivery, from ideation to manufacturing and commercialisation within the agreed timelines.
Having had the opportunity to work in diverse functions such as supply chain management, costing management and manufacturing, I bring a well-rounded business approach to the table.
With my experience of working in 4 different countries (Singapore, China, Italy and Portugal), I have a global outlook and feel for customer requirement and product design.
Looking forward to hear from you.
