thanks again!

I tried it myself once and failed. Basically, from what I've read, you have to learn to beatbox properly first. There is a certain technique that involves flowing air in several ways at the same time, making several sounds at a time.

Hi,

If you learn to beatbox without a flute--as original beatboxers do, I think that is the best way to learn. Then, after some practice and mastery, pick up the flute and just give it a whirl.

Here is a youtube video lesson on beatboxing to get you started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1qdyF2NDfw

Have fun!
