Master carver and Māori instrument-maker Brian Flintoff conquers a whole new artform in his writings detailing the history and use of Māori musical instruments, a formerly little-known yet fascinating aspect of Māori culture. From flutes to gourds to wood and shell trumpets, Flintoff introduces an orchestra of instruments and guides you on a tuneful tour of the sounds of nature and mythology that inspired their creation. Taonga Pūoro contains colour photographs of the finest contemporary instruments as well as ancient taonga from Aotearoa in museums across the worlds.
