Much of the bark has been left on this unsplit English Walnut (Juglans regia) branch flute, sanded down to a fine finish at the tone holes to decrease the thickness there, the bark fissures inlaid with crushed turquoise.  Measuring 14 3/4" in length, with 4 tuning holes, it has been accurately tuned to a 6 holed A# minor pentatonic with a cheerfully bright and sweet voice, playing 3 upper octave notes.  Elk lacing with horn bone and turquoise beads holds the bird to the nest, the bird fitted with a redwood 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.
