A symbol
of peace since ancient times, the olive branch
lends its spirit and
cultural significance to this very special Peace
Flute.
Measuring 19" in length, with four tuning
holes, this
beautiful solid bore,
unsplit branch flute is
clearly and sweetly tuned to a high Cm
( A=440 ) pentatonic scale, modes 1 &
4. Most of the
bark has been left on, the knots inlaed with
crushed lapis stone.
Elk leather lacing
with lapis and brass beads 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 gathered sustainably, with
gratitude and
respect, from an abandoned olive grove in
California. |
