Workshops | Ranjosan's Japanese Flute Making Workshop
The ever-popular “Ranjosan's Flute Making Worklshop” is back! 2009 marks the 8th year of this annual fixture at the festival, but this year we’ll be making an 8-hole flute, which gives those of you who made a 6-hole one in the past a chance for a second challenge at something new. All materials will be supplied, just bring you curiosity and enthusiasm! Following Ranjosan's instructions, we'll carve a piece of bamboo with a small knife over to complete the flute in 2 hours. Come find out what kind of music comes from an instrument carved from your own hands.
