Last week, I was on an Adventure by Disney trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos.
Disney likes to intersperse cultural experiences and family activities. So, one of the first side trips was for the adventurers to make a wooden Andean flute with a musical family. Here’s a video clip of the guy cutting the wood.

Of course, I started on my own…. but had some help with winding of the string especially. My completed flute looked like this.
We also learned about the variety of pan-flutes and other instruments during an exclusive musical demonstration. Here are some video clips.
