Traditional-Flute Making
Description
Participants will make a traditionally-designed, natural, solid wood flute, which utilizes a western musical pentatonic scale. You begin by taking two prepared pieces of cedar wood. Then you will learn how to assemble, shape, and apply the appropriate mechanics for assembling a viable playing flute. Once assembled, you apply a natural, non-toxic, oil finish to bring your flute to a polished lustre. You will be shown the basics in playing and will walk away from this workshop with a finished, working-musical instrument …a Traditional Native American Love-Flute.
