holes,
this
unsplit English Walnut (Juglans
regia) branch flute has been
accurately tuned and sweetly voiced to a 6 holed High D
minor pentatonic scale, playing 3 upper octave
notes. Most of the bark has been left on, with
knot holes and some bark fissures inlaid with crushed
turquoise. To aid against wet-out the
bird has been fitted with a redwood heartwood shoe, for
its absorption qualities, and a drain hole has been
designed into the air chamber. Elk lacing
with turquoise and brass beads holds the bird to the
nest. The branch for this flute was sustainably
gathered, with love, respect and gratitude, along San
Marcos Creek, in San Diego County, California, amongst a
wild grove of English Walnut trees.
