Description: Learn to craft a bamboo or pvc pan flute.
Pan flutes have to have a long history. They are so simple and logical in concept that many primitive people with very few tools have conceived the idea and built them from natural materials for thousands of years. Straight forward and linear, one can learn to play in a very short time. However like anything musical instruments there are degrees of playing. Just 'playing', and 'playing well', are two different things. To play, meant to me that you can make music on it and it sounds good. Others can play along with you and it sounds good. You may even have listeners that think you are great. This i what i call 'playing'. This leads to 'playing well'. Somebody who can 'play well' can bring tears to your eyes with the beauty of the music and the tones they are able to coax from the instrument. People like Zamfir have mastered this art, and the natives of Andes mountains seem to have a soul for it. I just 'play'. i do not presume to think i 'play well' because it takes years not months to do that, but mostly because i do not impress myself yet. Unless i can impress myself with something, then i do not consider my self very good at it, what ever it may be. I have no idea if what i am doing is correct or not proper method because just like everything else i know, i taught myself. With nothing to draw upon, it is difficult to know any more than what you experience yourself in the process of discovery. These steps do produce a very pretty sounding instrument. And it is relatively simple for anybody with just a little ability and very few tools, to make these things. They are portable and you can bring your music any where you go.
