 Tuned to a G# minor pentatonic, modes 1 & 4, this Incense Cedar (Libocedrus decurrens) unsplit branch flute also plays the Gypsy scale as well as 4 upper octave notes. The reddish-brown bark has been left on creating
a nice contrast with the finely finished wood grain and knots.
The knots, unchecked because they were sealed while the branch was
still green, are like the beautiful eyes of the tree and although not
visible in the photos, they have a wonderful chatoyance. Measuring 20 1/4" in length, this flute is nicely
tapered, from end to end. Elk lacing with horn bone and Jade
beads holds the bird, that's been set with a Jade cabochon, to the
nest. The bird has also been fitted with a Redwood shoe to
aid against wet out. The branch for this one of a kind flute was gathered from a grove near Palomar Mountain State Park in California. SOLD price includes U.S. shipping cost, "How to Play and Care For Your Dryad Flute" booklet, a quilted cotton drawstring flute bag and a quality guarantee.
