Covered with
colorful, well-preserved lichen, the bark has
been left on
this unsplit English Walnut (Juglans
regia) branch
flute, making it a truly unique and naturally beautiful
instrument. Despite its ruggedness, it
has a sweet and mellow voice, as heard in the sound sample. Measuring
21 3/4" in length and tuned to F# minor
pentatonic, modes 1 & 4, it plays the Gypsy scale as well as 3
upper register notes. All knot
holes have been inlaid with crushed Serpentine
stone. Deer lacing
with Serpentine and brass beads secures the bird to its nest. The
branch
for this flute was sustainably gathered, with prayer and respect,
withing the San Marcos Creek watershed, amongst a wild grove of English
Walnut
trees.
