front back Finding
the
right forked branch to make a harmony drone is rare. And then to
bore it out unpslit, in the Dryad Flute style and bring all the
elements together, in tune, is a minor miracle. But when it
happens,
what a joy to hold and play! Something Pan himself might have
used
to charm a dryad! This particular
harmony drone
was made from an Pacific Willow forked branch, the surface of which had
been carved by the fungus that creates Diamond
Willow. Each "diamond" has been inlaid with crushed
malachite. Tuned
to a high D minor
pentatonic, it playes modes 1 & 4, the Gypsy scale and 3 upper
octave notes.
Elk lacing
with malachite and horn bone beads holds the bird to the
nest.
Three corks, each topped with a malachite marble, serve to change the
fundamental on the drone side, even during a song, as heard in the
sound sample for this flute.
