During this workshop, you will engage in sawing, filing, and sanding a solo instrument with a membrane made from bamboo. It produces a sound similar to a vuvuzela, yet it’s straightforward to play.

The workshop instructors are members of the Nederlandse Pijpersgilde, a bamboo flute association. The association operates under the traditional guild system, where you undergo internal training as an apprentice to advance to the journeyman level. The examination encompasses four components: AMV, construction, playing, and conducting/teaching.
