11/14/2007: "Busy week"
It's been a busy week, and we apologize for the recent lack of new postings. Although I've often joked that a few hours' time would suffice to teach a flutemaking newbie everything there is to know about this gig, in reality it's a bit more complicated. It's been quite invigorating to spend a week in intensive instruction with the new international apprentice, and time flew by quickly. In retrospect, it seems that we barely scratched the surface and could very easily have spent several more weeks delving deeper into bamboo-flute lore.

I'm telling you: if I'd been taught half so much in my first week or two of flutemaking we'd be at least a decade more developmentally advanced at this point. Ten+ years of hard-won experience imparted in a mere week...

More... later... --r.
