Some of the bark that gives it it's name
has
been left on
this unsplit Ironbark Eucalyptus
(Eucalyptus
tricarpa) branch
flute, contrasting nicely with the exposed and finely finished wood
grain. Small knots and a thin area at the foot of the flute have
been inlaid with crushed malachite
stone. Measuring 15" in length, it is tuned to a high
d
minor
pentatonic, modes 1 & 4, with a sweet, bright and
very stable voice, also playing the Gypsy scale as well as
3
upper octave notes. Deer lacing
with malachite and horn bone 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 sustainably gathered, with love, respect and gratitude, along San Marcos Creek, in San Diego County, CA amongst a wild grove of Eucalyptus trees.
