Respectfully gathered from the Smith River Watershed in Northern California, this Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) branch flute sings with the beauty and ancient spirit of its old growth forest home. With a rich and resonant voice tuned to an Fm (A=440) pentatonic scale, modes 1 & 4, this one of a kind flute was bored out unsplit, the natural appearance, strength and integrity of the branch's growth rings left intact.  Much of the bark has been left on, along with several patches of lichen and moss, well sealed to maintain adherence.  A few knots have been inlaid with green turquoise and the exposed wood has been sealed with shellac, sanded and buffed to a natural shine and coated with carnauba wax.  This naturally beautiful flute measures 21 1/4" in length, and has a slightly tapered sound chamber from 1 1/8" diameter at the sound hole down to 7/8" at the foot of the flute.  Green tanned deer lacing with green turquoise beads lends its strength to secure 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.   $1,365.00 SOLD Price includes: A high quality Dryad Flute Pouch custom made for this flute by Sabine Happiness Guarantee Return Policy Free Shipping within the US Lifetime Warranty  Tax
