Helipuu - instrument making
@helipuu@mastodon.art
Helipuu means ‘sound tree’ in Estonian 🌲 🎵 Anyway, I’m a Frenchman living in the Estonian woods. I make ocarinas, flutes, whistles, and a few more musical stuff using local & natural materials. You can write me in (from easiest to hardest) French, English, Spanish, Italian and Estonian. [Profile picture: a drawing of a squirrel playing a random wind instrument. Banner: a kitten on small 4-hole ocarinas.]

🧵 For a friend’s daughter’s birthday, I once had the idea of making a "forest" #xylophone. I’d noticed that, among the trees that grow round here, the #alder sounds surprisingly good. 🤷
I haven’t had time to make another one since, but I’m keeping the idea in mind: It takes a while, but I think anyone can make it easily. It’s very enjoyable:
