Two Hawks Double flute in "A" in walnut.
With
a double flute you play the melody on one side and the other side
provides the drone in the root note of the flute - it sounds like two
people are playing. Double flutes have a double mouthpiece so you can
switch from a double flute to a single flute instantly without
adjustments. Our style is unique and generates more amplitude (volume)
and the drone plays the low and high octaves easily. The flute has a deerskin tie in the middle of the fingering holes... that indicates that there is another fingering hole under the leather tie giving an extra note when ready to use.
All the flutes are based on the minor pentatonic scale. When used as a 5-hole flute it is in the pentatonic scale. When the 6th hole under the leather tie is exposed the flute will play the relative major key in both the Diatonic and Chromatic scales.
Hand-crafted by Odell Borg at High Spirits Flutes.
In walnut which has an exceptional tonal quality. Sound waves traveling
through the tight grain of walnut creates a clear full voice. The added
advantage to this hardwood is durability (outdoor use).
Odell makes each flute from a solid piece of the finest cedar, birch, maple and other fine domestic plantation-grown woods, finished with three coats of a non-toxic hardening oil for durablity and clarity of sound, and each is precision-tuned so that it will blend perfectly with other instruments. The one piece design eliminates the common problem of splitting common among Native American flutes.
Each flute purchased online comes with a free how-to-play audio tape, a booklet (including fingering charts) & a money back guarantee.
