This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.

The Nasenflöte sounds like a swan slowly dying and deeply suffering.

Lady Gaga :)

Energic video by Miss Ayano and two friends of hers, playing Born This Way by Lady Gaga. I do not know the original version, but I know I prefer this cover.

But I assume that YW has transformed it a little by an electronic mean [indeed, the nose flute played is the one shown below, and it was recorded with a home made microphone, that distorted a bit the sound].



Here is Chiou's last creation, with a braided design:
