Measuring 19 5/8" in length with four direction holes, this unsplit Walnut (Juglans  californica) branch flute has been clearly and expressively voiced to a 6 hole, high B minor Modes 1&4 pentatonic scale, playing three upper register notes.  Much of the walnut wood grain has been exposed and finely finished, contrasting nicely with the dark patches of bark inclusion.  All knot holes and end checks    have been inlaid with crushed Lapis Lazuli.  To help prevent 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.  Deer leather lacing with Lapis Lazuli and Brass beads secures the bird to its nest.  The branch for this flute was sustainably gathered, with prayer and gratitude, along the San Marcos Creek watershed of California.
