Inspired by the popular folk song of Japan: Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) performed by Clint Goss on the EZ Anasazi Flute in Bb. For song info: www.flutopedia.com For flutes www.deruby.com Clint beautifully demonstrates the expressive potential of the EZ Anasazi Flute. The style of playing is similar to the style of the more difficult rim-blown Shakuhachi flute from Japan. There is no record of the Anasazi Pueblo People’s style of flute playing. Do you think it possible they may have played in a similar style?
