00:00Do you know this instrument?
00:01It's called a pipe.
00:03First, the artisan prepares different types of wood.
00:07The front soundboard is usually made from light Paulonia wood,
00:11helping produce clear resonance.
00:13For the back and neck, artisans often use dense red hardwoods,
00:17sometimes rosewood or other traditional woods.
00:20This gives the instrument strength and a beautiful natural color.
00:25Next, small pieces of bone, or ivory,
00:28are carefully carved into decorative shapes.
00:31These pieces are then installed into the body of the pipe,
00:35creating elegant floral patterns.
00:37After that, the body is shaped and carved,
00:40and many frets are added to the neck,
00:43allowing musicians to play fast and expressive melodies.
