Spalted Maple in the key of hi D -#2911

$255.00

This flute is made from a very special and unique piece of wood. It is maple that has been spalted, which means that prior to being dried, the wood had fungus starting to decompose it. This process creates amazing color in the wood. The wood has been stabilized but it is still very difficult to work with which is why the flute is not perfectly round and the fingering holes are not aligned with one and other. The grain is harder in some areas and very soft in others which makes every part of the process difficult. 

The end result is beautiful and despite the irregular shape and off center holes the flute sounds amazing!

Measurements

The High D is about 16 inches long with a 5/8 inch bore diameter. It’s about 8 1/8 inches from the mouth end to the middle of the first fingering hole, and the fingering holes are 5/8 of an inch apart from center to center.

Is This The Right Flute For Me?

Native American style flutes in the key of high D

Native American style flutes in the key of high D have a bright and responsive voice reminiscent of a songbird. These are our highest pitched and tiniest flutes that we currently make. You may not think that you would like a high-pitched flute but there is something so delightful about playing these flutes. The fingering holes are close together which can make them hard to play for people that have large fingers.
