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.
Materials:
Flute body is built of gorgeous and rare Birdseye Maple with equally stunning and highly prized Cocobolo wood accents and carved feather.
Finish choices are: Polyurethane or Rubio Monocoat oil which is a true state-of-the-art oil thanks to its revolutionary binder. I have found Rubio Monocoat to be amazing at protecting the flutes as it forms a molecular bond with the wood fibers – this product is absolutely safe for the human body. The inside of the sound bore is left unfinished, to preserve natural resonance of the wood.
This drone flute is priced higher to reflect the rare woods used to built it with, which are hard to come by, especially Cocobolo.

– Overall Length – 27.5 inches
– Bore Diameter – 1 inch – From mouth end to first hole – 12 inches
– From mouth end to last hole – 19 inches

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 2-3 or 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.
