In 2007 Werner John was approached by a local production company and Expert Village to record four video series (total 61 2-minute clips) on building and playing Native American flutes. Although you'll need to watch some highly targeted (not!) 15-second ads, and the order of the videos may be all mixed up, and Werner didn't get much sleep the night before, still... you can learn a whole lot. Enjoy!
