Native American style flute in the key of E4. Low and grounding sound frequency. Tuned to pentatonic minor scale.
Double drone. The flute is styled as a double drone, meaning it has two playing parts; the melody side and the drone side. The melody side has typical finger holes for a flute, but the drone side has no holes at all. On the drone side you can play the lowest root note (E4), and the root note's octave (E5) with a harder blow. The drone sound in the melody's background creates a wonderful, powerful and harmonious atmosphere.
Suitable for beginners and experienced players. This flute is large in size, so we do not recommend it for players with smaller hands. It is suitable as a first flute, but may require longer practice due to its large size and wider spacing between finger holes.
Crafted from selected materials. We always use only luthier dry lumber on our flutes. Flute is made of Finnish birch and Spanish cedar. A high-quality and durable leather strap binds the bird tightly in position.
