When under 5 years old, the bark of thhe White Birch tree, Betula papyrifera, is a golden-brown color, as in this young White Birch unsplit, intact branch flute, its beautiful bark left on, measuring 19" in length, with 4 tuning holes.  It is accurately tuned with a clear, sweet voice to a 6 holed A minor pentatonic scale, playing 4 upper octave notes.  To aid against wet-out, the bird has been fitted with a redwood shoe, for its absorption qualities, and a drain hole has been designed into the air chamber.  Knot holes been inlaid with crushed malachite stone.  Elk lacing with malachite and brass beads holds the bird to the nest.
