 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. $265.00
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.
