Tim Linhart makes musical instruments from ice. His workshop is a giant snow dome. Linhart uses tube-shaped ice to carve his flutes and adds on a metal mouthpiece at the end, using slush as a way to "glue" it down. These innovative creations sound just as amazing as they look. Linhart is able to make two flutes a day, and a stringed instrument in a week.
