Show Notes
Tom has been slowly bringing his own self-made flutes to my Irish music sessions here in Cologne for months now; and now that I’ve got round to interviewing, he’s on the verge of launching a business (Misu Instruments, check them in IG).
If you wanna know about flute-making, various scales, mushrooms, drones, twisty things and holes; this is your episode. It was an absolute blast, I can’t recommend this one enough.
