This drone flute is made from an absolutely stunning piece of western red cedar. The wood has a rainbow of warm tan and red brown colors .
The fingering holes are on the left side of the flute and the optional drone hole is on the right side which makes this flute easier for flute players who play with their right hand on the bottom to reach the optional drone hole. It features a turquoise patina copper plug for optional drone side hole. Its voice is smooth and harmonic. I find it plays better when the block on the fingering hole side sits slightly covering the fipple.
This flute is 21 1/4 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. it has a 7/8 inch bore diameter.
The first fingering hole is spaced 9 1/2 inches down from the mouth end.
The first three fingering holes are 3/4 of an inch center to center, the lower three holes are 1 inch center to center.
About Native American style Drone flutes in the key of A
Native American Drone flutes, sometimes called "double" flutes, are just that, THey are two flutes that are joined together. One side player like a normal flute and the other side plays one or more harmony notes. All of our drones have two blowholes so you can play as a single flute or play both sides together. They also feature an optional drone side hole with an included decorative plug so you can have two different options for harmony notes.
Drone flutes are harder to play because they require more air (two slow air chambers!) and they are wider than normal native flutes. This flute would be best suited to someone who has a little experience playing Native flutes, or someone who has played other instruments.
