Flute Pan

Instructions
1.Purchase 3 feet of bamboo, with an interior diameter of about inch, at your local craft
store. If you live where bamboo grows, you can cut a 3 foot section and let it dry.
2.Cut the bamboo into five sections being careful not to include the nodules, or joints, in
the section pieces. These pieces should measure 6 1/16 inch, 5 3/8 inch, 4 3/4 inch, 3 15/16
inch and 3 7/16 inch.
3 .Cover one end of each pipe with a penny and secure it with electrical or duct tape. Each
piece of tape should be 2 inches square.
4.Wrap twine around the tape and secure it with hot glue from a glue gun.
5.Lay the bamboo sections in a line from largest too smallest and glue them together, side
by side, using the hot glue gun.
6.Secure the attached bamboo sections with two areas of twine. Wrap the twine around all
of the sections of the pan flute three or four times inch from the top of the pan flute and
inch above the shortest section of the flute.
7.Glue the ends of the twine securely with the hot glue gun.

Tips & Warnings
To make a sound blow into the pipe across the top. It is similar to blowing into an empty soda bottle.
A pan flute with these measurements will sound the notes of C, D, G and A.
