The author, Julia Hansen , August 1, 1999 
Instruction for the Bamboo Flute of Bali  
I am a musician who is lucky enough to live in Bali for part of every year. Anita, the owner of one of the bookstores in Ubud, Bali, knows that I write books on Balinese music and asked me to write this book for her customers who purchase bamboo flutes from her but don't know how to play them. If you have a Balinese flute, this book will show you how to play twelve songs. The songs start out easy and get progressively more difficult, but I encourage readers to improvise their own songs as much as possible. The book contains a guide to fingering and suggestions for technique.
