Recycling woods - rescuing ancestors

Ivan goes to the places where they through away the remains of woods, and called his life project: "Recycling woods - rescuing ancestors". The instruments are made of trees and plants which for many years were cultivated by Mother Earth. And this way he is able to help with deforestation. In nearly all instruments you will find a piece of wood which was thrown away.

Each instrument has its own essence and vibration, its own soul.
When you play the instrument, it´s like playing a soul, because the woods, bamboos and reeds, before they were taken from earth, were alive. And respecting this energy, the instruments are created.

The flute is handmade, a unique pieces. We will assist you with any questions or curiosity when purchasing the flutes.
