Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Purchase 3 feet of bamboo, with an interior diameter of about ½ inch, at your local craft store. If you live where bamboo grows, you can cut a 3 foot section and let it dry.
Step2
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.
Step3
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.
Step4
Wrap twine around the tape and secure it with hot glue from a glue gun.
Step5
Lay the bamboo sections in a line from largest too smallest and glue them together, side by side, using the hot glue gun.
Step6
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 ½ inch from the top of the pan flute and ½ inch above the shortest section of the flute.
Step7
Glue the ends of the twine securely with the hot glue gun.
