Measuring 16 1/4" in length, this unsplit Paper Birch branch flute, Betula papyrifera, has been clearly and accurately tuned with a sweet voice to a 6 holed B minor pentatonic scale, playing three upper octave notes.  Much of its characteristic bark has been left on, well sealed to insure continued adherence, sanded down at the tones holes to thin the wall in that area exposing the finely finished wood grain. 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 have been inlaid with crushed turquoise stone.  Deer lacing with Sleeping Beauty turquoise and brass beads secures the bird to its nest.
