Incense Cedar Branch Flute in G#
sound sample of this flute
|
|
  
 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.
