why not pan flute?
The pan flute, quite possibly the noblest of instruments, has been said to be a gift from the heavens. Under proper training and mastery, its wielder has abilities to summon the angels. The passion with which this instrument must be played is far greater than any other instrument made completely of bamboo and bound by string. Only the Shakuhachi (Sha’ koo ha’ chee) comes close. Truth be told, the Shakuhachi doesn’t even have strings holding it together; it’s just a tube with some holes cut out of it. Zamfir, the world’s indisputable leader in the harmonious audible delicacy that is pan flute, was the featured pan flutist for the famed “Bonsai Tree” score from the Karate Kid motion picture series soundtrack. Never before has a song captivated the hearts and imaginations of its audience. We at BrettRoby.com are pleased to bring you the original track, written circa 1984 by Bill Conti with none other than Zamfir himself, gracefully fluting.
