Eucalyptus trees are used traditionally for
the
making of didgeridoos. They can also make
beautiful
branch
flutes, this from a Lemon Eucalyptus Corymbia
citriodora, the bark of the
branch having
been sanded smooth in natural patterns to contrast
with
the finely
finished wood
grain. Measuring 19¾" in length, she is clearly
and sweetly
voiced to a mid-range, concert/recording quality G#m
pentatonic scale,
modes 1 & 4,
playing
three upper register
notes. As with all Dryad Flutes, the branch has
been bored
out unsplit, maintaning its natural strength and
beauty, augmented with
touches of abalone shell
inlaid into a few small knots. Deer leather
lacing secures the
bird to her 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.
The branch for
this flute was respectfully gathered from a Lemon
Eucalyptus
tree that had been cut down for a development. The
spirit of that tree
lives on now through
this beautiful, one of a kind branch flute.
