Zam’Fir

Zam’fir is the Death School Clothing Recipe Vendor in Krokotopia. He is located in the central area of Karanahn Barracks.

Gheorghe Zamfir (born April 6, 1941) is a Romanian nai (pan flute) musician. Zamfir is known for playing an expanded version of normally 20-pipe nai, with 22, 25, 28 or even 30 pipes, to increase its range, and obtaining as many as eight overtones (additional to the fundamental tone) from each pipe by changing his embouchure. He is known as “The Master of the Pan Flute”.

This is the thirty-third article chronicling the #W101PopCulture references starting in Wizard City and the eleventh for Krokotopia. The current list of all the (known) Krokotopia references can be found here. These articles were originally put together for a Facebook group I belong to. Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
