This flute is made out of a dark, chocolate brown piece of American black walnut. This hard and durable wood will not dent or break easily. It has a lovely subtle grain pattern which feels nice to the touch. It’s less glassy smooth than a wood like cherry or maple as the small black flecks in the grain remain after varnishing.  Listen to the video to hear the flute being played.

This flute is tuned to a Hijaz scale which has a Hebrew or middle eastern sound to it. This style of flute is more difficult to play than our Native American styles of flute because of the uneven hole spacing and the lowest hole being set much further down on the body of the flute. Some people learn to play this hole with their pinky finger. I prefer to stretch my ring finger to cover it. We don’t’ yet have a dedicated booklet for the Hijaz flutes, but they do come with a finger chart that is specific to this unique scale.

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.
