Description
7 Hole Drone Flute in the Key of A of Sapele and Hard Maple wood with Citrine Quartz Cluster inlay
This is a 7 hole Extended Scale drone flute with the seventh hole being the thumb hole on the back of the instrument. To play the flute as a standard 6 hole configuration, keep the thumb hole covered.
Materials:
Flute body is made of Sapele wood and the accents are of Hard Maple wood. Flute is finished with Hand Rubbed Polyurethane and the inside of the sound chamber is left unsealed to preserve the natural resonance of wood. Citrine Quartz cluster is inlaid into the body of the flute. Leather straps are used to hold Totem to the flute body.
When ordering this flute to be Built to Order, I may use an Amethyst quartz cluster instead of Citrine cluster due to higher availability of Amethyst crystal, but please to specify if you would prefer the Citrine Quartz instead, as originally Citrine has been chosen to complement the Color of Sapele wood in the flute design.

What does it mean when the flute is built to order:
When the flute is on Built to Order it simply means just 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 2-3 or 3-4 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. If you would rather have a custom flute or certain modifications added to the flute in this listing, instead you are welcome to fill out an Order a Custom Flute form.
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.
