On the 14th of June, I'll be putting on a workshop on flutemaking for beginners. This class will cover how to make a side -blown bamboo flute.
There are no age restrictions, and all are welcome to attend! The class will take place at Beautiful Bamboo farm, a couple miles outside Groveland, Fl.
The address is 18404 State Road 19, Groveland, FL 34736.
The class will run from 9:30 am till 3:00 pm. Show up anytime between 9:30 and 2:00, and you can walk away with your own bamboo flute, made by you!
The cost per participant is $40, which covers everything you need including:
The bamboo itself, the tools and materials, and accessories such as bindings and beads.
I will walk the participants through the process of:
-Choosing the flute blank they will use, according to which musical key they wish their flute to be
-Creating the embouchure (the tone hole which you blow into)
-Trimming the cane to the correct length, so the flute will be tuned correctly
-Finding where to place the finger holes (those used to actually play the flute)
-Creating the finger holes, and finishing the tone hole
-Sanding and oiling the almost finished flute
-Binding and decorating the flute!
Now it's done! The flute is finished and ready to play!
If interested, please reserve a spot by shooting me an email at flutesbyryan@gmail.com
Or by texting 719-252-4485.
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
-Ryan
