Some
of
the beautiful underlayer of bark has
been left on this unsplit Ponderosa
Pine
(Pinus ponderosa) branch flute, except at the tone holes, contrasting nicely with the exposed grain. Measuring 16 1/8" in length and concert tuned to a c# minor pentatonic, modes 1 & 4, it plays 3 upper octave notes when the top hole is 1/2 holed. The flute is finely finished with few areas, including the knot in the bird, inlaid with crushed malachite. Elk lacing with horn bone and malachite beads holds the bird to the nest. The branch for this flute was gathered on private property just outside of Yosemite National Park. SOLD price includes U.S. shipping cost, "How to Play and Care For Your Dryad Flute" booklet, a lined felt drawstring flute bag and a quality guarantee.
