Step 1

Construct the primary structural frame using reclaimed cedar, integrating hollowed-out branch segments that act as wind-capture funnels. These funnels are positioned to face prevailing winds to channel steady airflow into the internal resonance chambers.

Step 2

Carve a series of precise wooden reeds from dense, resonant hardwoods like ebony or maple, calibrated to produce specific frequencies when air passes through them. Mount these reeds within modular sliding frames to allow for acoustic tuning based on the seasonal variations of local wind speeds.

Step 3

Install an intricate array of interconnected bellows and baffles within the floor structure, which respond to the structural vibration and oscillation of the tree trunk itself. This ensures that the generated soundscapes remain perfectly synced with the natural movement of the host tree.

Step 4

Finish the interior with acoustic paneling made of compressed mycelium and pine needles to dampen unwanted ambient noise while enhancing the pure harmonic output of the wooden reeds. Apply a natural tung oil finish to protect the instrument from high-altitude moisture while preserving the wood's natural resonant properties.
