Ironbark Eucalyptus Branch Flute in High D
sound sample of this flute
|
|
  
Some of the bark that
gives it it's name
has
been left on
this unsplit Ironbark
Eucalyptus
(Eucalyptus
tricarpa) branch
flute, contrasting nicely with the exposed and finely
finished wood
grain. Small knots and a thin area at the foot
of the flute have
been inlaid with crushed malachite
stone. Measuring 15" in length, it
is tuned to a high
d
minor
pentatonic, modes 1 & 4, with a sweet,
bright and
very stable voice, also 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
Eucalyptus
trees.
