AND FINALLY . . .

RELATED CONTENT

All you have to do now is experiment, practice, play, and enjoy. I've owned and used my bamboo flute since 1972, and the instrument has stood up faithfully to the test of ten years' wear. (I keep the tune pipe in a quiverlike leather case that — I believe — has helped prevent it from drying and cracking.) I hope you get as much pleasure — and longevity — out of your homemade instrument as I have from mine.

And by all means, write and let me know how your flute toots!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Musicmakers will also appreciate the articles on pages 68 and 194 of this issue.

And those of you who missed Part I of this series can order MOTHER NO. 78 by turning to page 180.

    Hi there, I am trying to make a flute out of bamboo for my kids
    and I read with interest the article re making a bamboo flute (part
    2) from 1983. I wondered if you could provide me with a link to
    part 1? Thanks.
