I got to 2:20 on my own (without a guide). But came here to figure how to assemble it.. Tip for others... the cuts you make may have a very (even unseen) slight angle. While you do test blows, expirament rotating the reed to find the sweet spot. I found blowing against the lower end of the angle gets the most sound
@albertogutierrez7994 A disinfectant spray such as Lysol is effective in sanitizing your panpipes. It evaporates quickly, which is beneficial in preventing the pores in the bamboo from absorbing too much liquid, which greatly reduces the risk of splitting the tubes. Allow to dry out thoroughly before playing them.. The only downfall with this method is that if your instrument is finished with shellac or varnish, you run the slight risk of dulling the finish, as the solvent in such sprays is Ethanol. This of course applies more to wooden pan flutes, as the vast majority of traditional panpipes are unvarnished. Long handled cotton swabs, such as used in a Doctors office, are convenient for any cleaning inside the tubes. I played Andean music professionally for 10 years, and this method never damaged any of my instruments.
Very simple guide, cheers fella.
