sound sample of this flute:

Much of the bark has
been
left on
this unsplit English Walnut (Juglans
regia) branch
flute, the wood grain exposed on top, fom the bird to
the foot.
Bark crevices on the left side have been inlaid with
crushed malachite
stone, giving an impression of moss growing on the
side
of the branch. Measuring 16 7/8" in
length, it is
tuned to an A#
minor
pentatonic, modes 1 & 4 with a
cheerfully bright and
sweet voice, playing the Gypsy scale as
well as 3
upper octave notes. Deer
lacing
with malachite and horn bone beads holds the bird to
the nest, the
bird
fitted
with
a
redwood
heartwood
shoe
to aid
against
wetout. The branch
for this flute was sustainably gathered, with love,
respect and
gratitude, along San Marcos
Creek, in San Diego County, CA amongst a wild grove of
English Walnut
trees.
