The wonderful mottled bark
has been left on
this unsplit California
Sycamore
branch flute except
at the exposed knots which have been finely finished.
Concert
tuned to a
mid range F, the key of the heart chakra, it plays the minor
pentatonic modes 1 & 4 and the Gypsy Scale, with three in
tune,
upper octave
notes. Touches of crushed turquoise inlay can be found
in a few
of the knots and turquoise nuggets have been set in
others.
American Bison lacing with turquiose and brass beads holds the
bird to
the nest. This flute measures 20 3/4" in
length and the
branch is from a tree that grows at the beautiful Descanso
Gardens.
