  English Walnut trees along San Marcos Creek where the branch for this flute was gathered.
Most of the bark has
been left on
this unsplit English Walnut (Juglans
regia) branch
flute, contrasting nicely with the exposed and finely finished wood
grain. Bark crevices have been inlaid with crushed serpentine
stone, giving an impression of moss or lichen growing on the right side
of the branch. Measuring 15" in length, with a 1/2"
sound chamber diameter, it is tuned to a high d
minor
pentatonic, modes 1 & 4 with a cheerfully bright and
sweet voice, also playing the Gypsy scale as well as 3
upper octave notes. Deer lacing
with serpentine and brass beads holds the bird to the nest, the
bird
fitted
with
a
redwood heartwood shoe to aid
against
wetout. The branch
for this flute was gathered along San Marcos
Creek, in San Diego County, CA amongst a wild grove of English Walnut
trees.
