Figured Port Orford Cedar in the key of D - #5009

$405.00

Low stock: 0 items left

This flute is made from a stunning piece of highly figured port Orford cedar. The wood has a bright yellow color and an amazing erratic flame pattern with some areas of tight ripples and others of large, quilted waves. It shimmers and changes in the light. This is a medium weight softwood with a silky-smooth finish. It has a lovely strong aroma of spicy cedar and lemons. There are a few stabilized checks which is common with such figured woods. These are not structural and won’t affect the durability of the flute, but I want any buyer to be aware of them.

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.

 

Measurements

The low D is about 26 inches long with a 1 1/8 inch bore diameter. It’s about 11 ¼ inches from the mouth end to the middle of the first fingering hole, and the fingering holes are 1 ¼ inches apart from center to center but are clustered in groups of three to make them easier to play. There is a nearly a 2 inch gap between the top three holes and the bottom three holes.

Is This The Right Flute For Me?

Native American style flutes in the key of low D

Native American style flutes in the key of D have a very deep and resonant voice. They are larger around then out E flutes, with a 1 1/8 inch bore diameter. The fingering holes are clustered in groups of three to make them easier to play, but this key of flute is still better suited for someone with some flute playing experience.
