company, Wood Song, in the Tua-Bak-Kang Cultural Park in Tainan’s Sinhua District (新化), which offers their original African-inspired musical instruments and lessons.
Chen Chih-hsuan (陳志軒) and Wang Cheng-hao (王承皓), both visual communication design students, said they founded the musical instrument business together to sell their wind-and-string inventions, which are inspired by traditional African instruments and made with Taiwanese woods.
The products include the Wood Song flute, Wine Bottle flute and the Wood Song zither, they added.
