Native American Navajo Made Pine Pocket Flute--C Minor

Description

Native American flutes are instruments of music, ceremony, entertainment, courtship and love. Some Navajo medicine men say a girl will find irresistible the boy who plays the flute for her. Most traditional Navajo flutes were made of sunflower stalk; today the flutes are evolving into a medium of artistic expression that uses a variety of materials. This is a simple pine flute and is handcrafted by Jonah Thompson. It is a sample of Native American instruments and the diversity within Navajo culture. These beautiful smaller flutes come in cherry (red), walnut (brown) or pine (clear) finish. Flutes are in C Minor. Jonah has just retooled his flutes. The sound is amazing. He tunes them electronically and makes the sound pitch perfect for each flute. It is something he has wanted to do for some time...now all of his flutes have a magnificent sound.
