The bark has been left on the unsplit Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) branch flute except at the knots and the nest, which have been finely finished.  Measuring 16 1/2" in length and concert tuned to high c#, it plays the minor pentatonic modes 1 & 4 with four, in tune, upper octave notes.  American bison lacing with horn bone beads holds the bird to the nest.  The branch was gathered from a grove of Elderberry trees that grow along the San Mateo river in southern California.
