Ponderosa Pine Branch Flute in F#

  sound sample of this flute










Some of the very characteristic bark has been left on this unsplit Ponderosa Pine branch flute, creating a nice contrast with the finely finished, exposed grain.  Measuring 20 1/4", this flute is concert tuned to a mid range F# minor and plays the pentatonic modes 1 & 4 as well as the gypsy scale, with two in tune, upper octave notes.  Black tanned elk lacing with red horn bone and turquoise beads holds the bird to the nest.  A bit of crushed turquoise stone was inlaid into the knot at the 5th tone hole. The branch was gathered from a Ponderosa Pine forest that grows near Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
