Native American Flute

CRAFTING A NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTE WITH SIMPLE TOOLS

While strolling along on a beach on this southern vietnamese Island, a heavy tropical thunderstorm was rolling in.
I had to seek shelter underneath some rocks and there I found these bamboo sticks stranded on the shore.
The storm clouds gathered and the rain poured down like crazy.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed making this flute - surrounded and inspired by the elements of the earth.

This is my way of saying thank you all folks out there for leaving your comments, and also a way of wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

@rcmoot My family can trace back our flute making history 1500 years. Long before the white europeans came. The indigenous people of the americas stole nothing sunshine. They had everything stolen from them. The whites "traded" with and bribed the originals with such things as beads,knives etc. Is that what they are teaching you kids in school these days? you should do more research before spewing your ignorance for all the world to see. Dont feel too bad you can always delete your post ~D

@rcmoot native americans have been making flutes for centuries with simple tools, like the ones he just used. excluding the fact that blades were generally made from stone. tuning didnt have an importance. they usually determined the length from their finger tips to their elbow. nature was their resource. technology isnt as important as u think. im not sayin this videos is entirely true, but its a pretty damn good interpretation.

they stole or traded for tools from the yanks. next you will tell me he forged the machete and knife from sandstone. good video for the you tubers.
