Native American Style Flute - Hand made 5 hole in Key of A. for sale in Hurricane, UT
Native American Style 5 Hole Flute - Hand made in Key of A. This beautiful hand crafted 5 hole flute is an upper mid-range flute that has a bright clear sound. This flute is 18" long with a 3/4" diamet er sound chamber, which is coated with 3 layers of Shellac to seal it and improve the clarity of sound. Shellac is made from the secretions of the Lac Bug and is non toxic. Made from Red Cedar, this flute has 2 coats of a red stain that gives it a rich red color. Four coats of water based polyurethane varnish completes the hand polished look. Water based polyurethane creates a hard and durable finish, which is also non-toxic once dry. The Fetish is hand-made of pine and is of a bright red Cardinal. Decorations include leather strapping, reproduction sinew, and jute cord to replicate the decorations the Anasazi used on their flutes over 1,000 years ago. I am recently retired and for a new adventure have decided to start offering my hand-made flutes. The difference is that I am donating 100% of the proceeds to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society . They are the global leader in the fight against cancer. My father passed away from Lymphoma, so this charity is close to my heart. They are a great organization with a great mission to cure these cancers and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Each flute I make is unique and takes on average about 4 days to build. These are not "cookie-cutter" flutes. I don't use CNC lathes, I hand shape every flute to make each one unique. I believe a hand made flute just has more character than a machine built flute. I make each flute in my woodshop, one at a time, using some power tools, but also up to 22 hand tools that I inherited from my master carpenter grandfather. Using the same hand tools that my grandfather used is very special to me and a connection to my heritage. I hand plane, hand sand with 4 different grit papers, hand stain, and finally hand apply the finish. I can offer these flutes for a bit less because I am not trying to make a profit. This is my hobby and do it for enjoyment, and for charity. The flutes are not quite concert quality but are pretty close. I have tuned it using a Seiko chromatic tuner. Plays pentatonic scale of A, C, D, E, G, A. The flute can play several notes in the next octave. They are just fun to play, are a wonderful conversation piece, and make a great display.
