upper octave notes when the top (sixth) hole is half-holed.
One
of the joys in the making of branch flutes is
showing the natural beauty that is there in all aspects of the
branch. With this willow, I've played with the color
contrast
between the lighter wood and smooth under-layer of bark. In a few
of the deeper wood wrinkles of the branch the rougher
outer bark has been kept. The whole flute has been
finely finished and a inlaid with crushed malachite. Elk lacing
with malachite and horn bone beads holds the
bird to the nest. The
branch for this flute was gathered along San Marcos
Creek, in San Diego County, CA
amongst a wild grove of willow trees. SOLD $250.00 price includes U.S. shipping cost, "How to Play and Care For Your Dryad Flute" booklet, a lined felt drawstring flute bag and a quality guarantee.
