Hello, forum people.

Recently I began trying to create flutes with bamboo, and currently I'm trying to recreate a ceramic one that I purchased recently. I understand how the embouchure works and everything, but I simply don't know how to make bamboo as sharp and clear as one made of glazed ceramic. I can produce an audible sound with the bamboo, though it's quite airy and unpleasant. I'm wondering if there's a good way to solve this, like perhaps a lacquer to make everything a little more solid, but I don't know if this would contrarily dull the embouchure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This does help, thank you.

I had another idea that I might play around with, though I'm not sure if it's absolute folly:
I'm thinking of getting a piece of steel pipe in the same size as the bamboo that I would be using. I would cut a piece of this steel to be about two or three inches long, and use this part solely for the embouchure hole. Then I could connect bamboo to both sides of the cylinder, one side as the sealed end-piece (sealed by an unpunched bamboo node), and the other side would be the main shaft with the finger holes.
However, I really don't know how I might connect the bamboo to the pipe.

Feedback/suggestions?
