Olive Branch Peace Flute in F#
sound sample of this flute
|
|
  
 Measuring
21
1/2" in length, some of the bark has been left on this 6
holed
unsplit Olive branch
flute, (Olea
europaea), adding even
more color and
contrast to the highly figured and beautiful wood
grain. Tuned to an F# minor
pentatonic scale, modes 1 & 4, it also plays the Gypsy
scale and
three upper octave notes. Bark crevices
and knot or
surface checks have been
inlaid with crushed serpentine.
Elk lacing
with serpentine and brass beads
holds
the
bird to the nest, the bird fitted with a redwood shoe to
aid against
wetout. The
branch for this flute was pruned from trees at the
Nottingham Center
for the Arts in San Marcos, CA. As
the olive branch is a symbol
of
peace in Western cultures, may this
olive branch
flute inspire peace and harmony in the player and
listener.
