Native American Flute workshop (1 or 2 days)
The music of a hand-made Native American flute resonates with the sounds of nature. This is because of the vacillating warble from harmonization between the separate sound chamber and slow-air chamber in the flute construction. From decades of flute-making experience, Gaine-san devised a method to enable beginners to carve a gorgeous flute with confidence. Please note that a shorter 1-day workshop to make a Japanese bamboo size-blown flute is available on special request.
