Olive Branch Peace Flute in F#m
play video for sound sample of this flute:
  
Most
of
the
bark
has
been removed from this unsplit Olive Branch
Flute, (Olea
europaea), exposing
the beautiful, finely finished wood
grain. Measuring
21 3/4" in length, it is clearly, accurately and
soulfully tuned to an F#
minor
pentatonic scale, modes 1 & 4, playing three upper register
notes as well as the Gypsy Scale. A
small knot hole in this branch has been
inlaid with crushed Serpentine stone.
Deer leather lacing
with Serpentine and Brass beads secures the
bird to its nest. To help prevent wetout, the bird has been
fitted with a Cedar shoe, and a drain hole, covered by the lacing, has
been designed into the air chamber. Olive
is a very dense wood, so this flute weighs in at 14.65 ounces.
The
branch for this flute was gathered sustainably, with respect and
prayer, from an abandoned Olive grove that
grows within the San Marcos Creek watershed of California.
