Native American Style Sapele Drone Flute in the Key of E with Cocobolo accents and Carved Feather

Sapele wood Drone Flute with Cocobolo Totem and Cocobolo wood Carved Feather tuned to the key of E at 432Hz. The wood combination is absolutely gorgeous in my view. 

This is a 7 hole extended scale drone flute, which has the traditional 6 hole configuration plus a seventh thumb hole on the back of the flute for more expression and creativity. Learning curve is absolutely nonexistent, it is simply a matter of opening the thumb hole, going up the scale (from lower note to higher).

Included with the drone is a leather strap to cover the 7th hole if you decide that you want a 6 hole configuration and are not ready for 7 hole configuration.

Dimentions:

– Overall Lenth – 26 inches
– Bore Diameter – 1 inch
– From mouth end to first hole – 11.5 inches
– From mouth end to last hole – 18 inches
– Largest distance between playing holes – 1 and 3/8th inches
– Largest playing hole diameter – 3/8th of an inch

*Note on the Video sample found in the Video Tab – I am using another flute accented with Maple as the flute body is made of Sapele as well thus it will sound the same.

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.
