On the 12th of Oct 2017, VFORWOOD witnessed a bamboo craftsman in action at Makers Asylum, Andheri (e). We meet the multi-talented Rizal Abdulhadi (@rizalmusicofficial) from Java,Indonesia. Rizal is a free spirited, passionate , bamboo builder and a musician . He has amalgamated the guitar, didgeridoo and celempung (percussion) to conjure up his own bamboo musical instrument, The Rasendriya. He showcased the ease of building any musical instrument by building an electric lap guitar in a quick 2 hour Workshop :-) . We were hopeful the build would be in Bamboo, but a slab of wood worked out well, as a replacement. For Rizal, bamboo is a way of life and he strongly advocates it as a source for sustainable living. He even wears it on person, in the form of his spectacle frame. He has provided gainful employment to the people of his village, by setting up a small workshop there, where he manufactures these.
