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. Grma xInline G Merch ⭐️www.Inlineg.myshopify.comInline G Patreon ⭐️www.patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcastInline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up to the Patreon helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.
