WHO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY A FILIPINO NOSE FLUTE?



CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) – If you know anyone who knows how to play the Filipino nose flute, then there’s a Chicago musicologist who’d love to hear from you. Music researcher Cheryl Istvan is working on a display of ancient Filipino musical instruments for the Field Museum in Chicago and says she needs more information on a “Nose Flute” that fits on the nostrils. No one knows exactly how the instrument was played so Istvan will travel to the Philippines in January to search for a few good nose flutists. Istvan says she only wants musicians who haven’t been exposed to outside influences and she plans on recording them for posterity.
