World Music Safari - The Florida Aulos

Greetings once again from World Music Safari. In this hurricane soaked episode I make an Aulos/Mijwiz single pipe version out of bamboo. I’ve never done this before but it came out good; not great, not extraordinary, plain ole good. Oh the reed worked just fine, which I wasn’t initially confidant about, but I split the wood drilling the holes for the notes. Now I know why the old guys just burn the holes with a red hot poker. Here I thought it was just to play with fire and make the instruments smell amazing, like a camp fire met up with Papyrus. I plan on revisiting this in the near future but I’d really like to go in the field out to Seminole and get some Phragmites grass after wrestling some nesting Alligators. Until next time.
