Marcos Creek where the branch for this flute was gathered.
The
bark has
been left on
the north end of this unsplit English Walnut (Juglans
regia) branch
flute,
transitioning to the smooth underlayer and to the exposed wood grain at the tone holes. Measuring 17 3/4" in length and concert tuned to a G minor pentatonic, modes 1 & 4, it plays the Gypsy scale as well as 3 upper octave notes when the top (sixth) hole is half-holed. The whole flute is finely finished and the bark crevices and all knot holes have been inlaid with crushed Sleeping Beauty turquoise. Elk lacing with Sleeping Beauty turquoise and horn bone beads holds the bird to the nest. The branch for this flute was gathered along San Marcos Creek, in San Diego County, CA amongst a wild grove of English Walnut trees. SOLD price includes U.S. shipping cost, "How to Play and Care For Your Dryad Flute" booklet, a quilted drawstring flute bag and a quality guarantee.
