The next day, after a good night, a coffee, and a little sanding, it's time to discover the hollowed branch...Look at this crazy shape !


The most impotant step, the sound holes making...Took me 2 hours, cause this wood wanted to play, and make me a little crazy before giving me his beautiful sound...


A small branch...


...Who wanted to be a bird.

This branch was long, so to make a F#, and preserve its beautiful shape and lenght, i've added four in-line tuning holes, Fallen Branch made.


Now, getting the best fundamental ever made, I need to draw the finger holes layout...


...Then drill and tune them. Lura, this flute sound sweet and clear as a mountain stream.

Isn't it a wonderful unusual instrument ?
