Greetings all

I am looking for a good source for flute quality bamboo; cured well, nice
round culms, etc. Buying bamboo sight unseen is problematic unless the
vendor has had some experience selling bamboo for flutes. am looking for
unsual species like black, black tiger, green speckled, turtle rootend and
non-root etc. with inside diameters of 3/4 - 1 1/4. this is for making
native american flute so the node walls need to be still in place, as there
needs to be a node 4-6 inch from the mouth end, to separate the two
chamber. any help would be apprec
Aho
Dan
