Description (CMS Description)
Bamboo flute made from a piece of bamboo sealed at both ends by a node. The top has a short section of bamboo above the node. Four holes have been cut through the bamboo: one in the base, one on the shaft near the base and two more along the shaft near the top. The topmost hole is the widest and forms the mouthpiece.
