At this class E.J. Gold demonstrates a variety of plastic and hand-made wood zen flutes. Starting with the most inexpensive "2 Buck Chuck", he plays intricate delicate rhythms utilizing diverse tonal qualities and many of the techniques introduced the week before - specific types of breath control, fingering, quaver, embouchure and changing registers from low to high and back again.

The spontaneously improvised music becomes more refined and elegant as E.J. plays the hand-made rosewood soprano, tulipwood, basswood, pearwood and grenadilla alto and basswood tenor instruments. He plays each skillfully showing the difference between the plastic flutes as compared to the more expensive pearwood, tulipwood, vintage Van Huene soprano, and the grenadilla alto flute which he uses for invocational recordings.

Homework given was to exercise lifting all your fingers in rapid succession.
