Thread Name: Playing the Noseflute
Subject: RE: BS: Playing the Noseflute
I won 4 of the plastic one's from the Basic Black radio show on CBC. It took the shows producer, Chris Straw, about 20 min over the phone from Vancouver to teach me how to play one. My wife got it about the second blow, not me though. We then had to tape two minutes of nose fluting and send it back. He played all the submissions on the radio. We got two T shirts, two caps from the Vancouver Nose Flute Ensemble, four books four CD's, four packets of Kleenex and one bottle of Nasal decongestant as our prize. Follow the instructions above and you should get it eventually. The only advice I have to add would be, breathe softly from your nose and almost a slight exhale through the mouth at the same time seems to works best for me. Don't overblow it, it could be nasty. Good Luck. JohnB
