2 preprocess of bamboo

 

Cut a bamboo into 30〜40 centimeters lengths ,
At this time, leave a knot of bamboo on one side .
 (The knot of bamboo will be at the bottom of sax )

 

 

 

 

Make a hole on knot of bamboo with drill(10φ) .

 

 

 

 

 

Wash and sun drying the bamboo .
(dry it fully , about 1 or 2 months)

the color of the bamboo will change from green to light brown(dead bamboo) .

 

 

if you have a gus burner , grill the bamboo to make it brown .
(the bamboo has firmed , I guess).
