Today, I posted my very first short video on Loops, the Fediverse-based TikTok alternative. It is a video of me playing the Huron Carol (Native Canadian Christmas carol) on the Native American flute.
Long live Loops, and Merry Christmas!

How to make an elderberry flute:
1. Take your loppers out to trim sycamore branches;
2. Decide to cut the elderberry that’s been growing at the sycamore’s base;
3. Notice the elderberry’s pithy center;
4. Remember that 40 years ago you had planned to make an elderberry flute;
5. Make the flute patterned after an inexpensive quena (“KEH-na”) bought in Mexico.
The flute makes a sweet sound. A sample coming soon🙂

The last person to play this rare boxwood flute was likely its owner, James Glencairn Burns, son of Robert Burns. Claire Mann is currently the only musician with permission to play it, & the flute – & Claire – will go on tour as part of a wider fundraising campaign called Saving The Home of Auld Lang Syne which will be launched later this year.
