Steps: Dry a club gourd. Cut off the "bell" end, fill with water, soak for a week to soften contents. Clean it out with a drain augur, then dry it and sand the interior. Ream out a mouthpiece receiver. I used a cast resin cornett/cornetto mouthpiece. Drill the holes with slight under chamfer, placement similar to cornett/cornetto layout. Finish with handmade inks (raw pigment + gum arabic + ox gall + distilled water); then seal with acrylic. Pitched in Bb, fingerings similar to baroque recorder, plays 2.5-3 octaves
