This flute is made from a rosy pink piece of cherry. The wood will darken with age into a rich red color. This is one of my favorite woods for flutes because it lends a sweet quality to the voice. It is a hardwood and will not dent or break easily. Listen to the video to hear the flute being played. Scroll through the carousel of photos to find the video.
This flute is made from FSC certified wood. FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
This flute is 22 inches long with a 7/8 inch bore diameter.
It is 10 1/4 inches from the mouth end to the first fingering hole. The hole spacing is irregular on purpose to accommodate the Hijaz scale. The top 5 holes are spaced between 3/4 of an inch and 1 1/8 of an inch apart center to center, the lowest hole is spaced 1 7/8 inches apart from the rest of the holes making it easier to play with the pinky finger.
These unique and beautiful flutes are a little more difficult to play than a Native American style flute because they have an irregular fingering hole size and spacing. The lowest hole is set much further down on the body of the flute and might be easier for people to reach with the pinky finger. Once you get used to this awkward reach, the flute plays as easily as a Native American style flute.
