This flute sounds magical and everyone can play it (no previous knowledge necessary). The flute has a fixed scale, however the separate tones can be modified to half tones by adjusting the amount of air. This gives you more possibilities than a recorder.
The high craftsmanship and inviting character of the flute encourage even the beginner to improvise. They have six holes, and come set up as a 5-hole flute, with removable leather wrapping over the 6th hole. Playing with 6 holes is more difficult but has more notes and is Diatonic. This can be studied with the fingering-chart in the booklet. The 5-hole layout is pentatonic and easier for beginners. Setup for 5 or 6 tones. Comes with an instructional booklet.
Flute maker Odell Borg makes each Native American style High Spirits flute from a solid piece of the finest cedar, walnut, birch and other fine domestic plantation-grown woods or recycled timber, finished with three coats of a non-toxic hardening oil for durablity and clarity of sound. Each Native American style flute is precision-tuned so that it will blend perfectly with other instruments.
This High Spirits Merlin flute is made in Walnut and is tuned to High C'' pentatonic.
Comes with an instructional booklet and DVD.
