Description
This is a 7 hole Extended Scale drone with the seventh hole being the thumb hole on the back of the flute. Included with the drone is a leather strap which you can use to cover the seventh thumb hole to play the flute as a standard 6 hole configuration.
Alaskan Yellow cedar has a wonderful mellow tone (it is used for construction of guitar tops as its grain is prized for tonality) and this drone’s voice is simply mesmerizing. Alaskan Cedar falls into category of priced tone woods hence it is priced higher comparable to the flutes of the same Key, size and embellishments.

If the flute is on Backorder:
When the flute is on Backorder it simply means that I would have to build it for you. You can place your order as you would with the regular purchase, the only difference is that it would take me from 1-2 weeks to finish it and mail it to you, depending on the load of present orders. If you don’t mind waiting I would love to recreate the flute for you.
I will do my best to recreate the flute, depending on wood availability from my supplier and my “Cutoff Box” which is where I keep pieces of wood from other flute projects to add accents to new flute orders. If the wood of your choice for the accents is not available, I will let you know and suggest closest replacement in look and feel, to complement the overall look and color palette of the flute.
Michelle Gonzalez –
After scanning through over many websites looking for the right flute, I came across Geochi’s flute page and I just knew that this was the flute for me. I ordered mine with embellishments, I have a beautiful carved feather and also I have an agate stone. I am so very happy with my flutes. Geochi is an incredibly talented individual, his creativity, designs and attention to detail is high-end. I cannot recommend his work enough.
