Thank you for sharing this with the world, my friend! Greetings from a land far far away!

Greetings from NORWAY Winne, that’s a big seljefløyte. For those wondering this is an impressive upscale and a normal one would be 10-20 cm long and 1,5 cm diameter. Typical to learn to build in late kindergarden/early primeryschool.

[@1fujara]

hah yes, was quite a challenge to make a big one like this :)

ingen som har lært meg å lage seljefløyte :- (

❤so beautiful 💖

[@700ode]

For anyone wondering, to lenghten the age of these flutes, you can keep them in a river or a lake when you dont play them, this makes them last a lot longer!

[@F0nkyNinja]

what about putting them in a bucket with water and glycerin?

[@700ode]

@@F0nkyNinja give it a shot:o but i think only water and changing the water daily will do the job

[@YngvilVG]

I just saw this clip - great with that size - How do you keep it playable, Winne ?

[@1fujara]

It is only playable for about 2 days, then it shrinks and dies :)

Hi Winne, I started learning the basics of woodwind instruments with a Recorder but I am aiming for the Romanian Caval. After finding your channel I immediately subscribed and decided to buy one. Can you please tell me the wood and scale of the instrument you are using in your video "Romanian Kaval (Caval) Tutorial "lesson 3"? I also like it's clean look, beautiful piece you got there. Thank you, looking forward for more folk songs tutorial for the Romanian Caval. Best regards! Daniel

Haunting work! Nice. I've got a question - how long does this flute last?

[@1fujara]

1 day ;-)

[@Raymonator5000]

Is there a limit ti the size of branch you can use for this? Like for example, could you make a bass flute out of a longer thicker branch?

[@1fujara]

sure that would be possible, just not easy to remove the bark in one piece though, the longer the harder :-)

[@jakecapistrant5403]

Can this flute be preserved and be a permanent flute if you coat it in polyurethane or something like that

[@1fujara]

no, the moisture will leave the bark and it will shrink= end of the instrument and also the beauty of these!

What species of willow?

[@1fujara]

this is Knot- willow as we call it

[@Kizunaut]

That's a bit bigger than the ones my grandfather taught me to make
